Sally Minty-Gravett, Otto Thaning Talk Longevity On WOWSA Live, Part 2
Sponsored by KAATSU Global, Huntington Beach, California.
International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame Honor Swimmers Sally Minty-Gravett, MBE and cardiologist Dr. Otto Thaning have both enjoyed long and illustrious careers in the open water.
Minty-Gravett aims to swim across the English Channel six separate times over six consecutive decades next year, where Dr. Thaning has completed two English Channel crossings, 20 years apart. His last crossing in 2014 established Dr. Thaning as the oldest person to cross the English Channel in history at the age of 73.
They both spoke with Ned Denison and Steven Munatones on today’s WOWSA Live program.
