| Introduction | Hi - My name is Mark Sheridan. I live near Sevenoaks in Kent (UK) and in my spare time I am an open water ultra-distance swimmer. I have completed many swims over 21 miles including 43 mile Lac Leman (4th solo ever & 1st Brit), Lake Ontario (1st British male), Lake Taupo (1st Brit), the English Channel (3x), Loch Lomond (44th person), the Catalina Channel in California, Two-way Windermere, Lake Tahoe and SCAR to name a few...I served on the committee of the British Long Distance Swimming Association for 7 years (President 2017). I was awarded British Long Distance Swimming Association's Swimmer of the Year in 2013 and also won the Global Marathon Swimming Federation's Barra Award for Best Year in 2015. Above all, I enjoy sharing my experiences to help others reach their goals and giving back to this wonderful sport on a voluntary basis. I currently hold the British record for Lake Tahoe solo which I set in August 2018 taking almost 90mins off the prior benchmark. In June 2019, I completed 20 Bridges to bag the title of 'Triple Crown'. My swimming endeavours have raised £50k for various charities over the years. |
