Antonio Argüelles To Tackle Tsugaru
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. After twice completing the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming during his career, Antonio Argüelles is setting off on his second Oceans Seven channel tomorrow.
Argüelles crossed the Strait of Gibraltar with Nora Toledano and Mariel Hawley Dávila earlier this summer, and now he is standing on the shore of Honshu getting ready to swim across the Tsugaru Channel.
He will also attempt crossings of the Molokai Channel and the North Channel in 2016 with the goal to culminate the Oceans Seven (Siete Mares) with a crossing of the Cook Strait in 2017.
