Anton Ilchenko from Melbourne was the first person to swim from New Norfolk to Bruny Island in Tasmania. He swam through the evening, night, and morning without wearing a wetsuit, stopping only to drink water or protein drinks. Anton came to SBS studios to talk about his amazing swimming experience, childhood in the pool, Ironman competitions, and his next ambitious goal.
