The Forever Swim delves into the inner thoughts, vision, loves, worries, and challenges of Antonio Argüelles.

He describes his colorful, goal-setting life within the dramatic backdrop of becoming the oldest person in history to achieve the Oceans Seven. Viewed ignorantly from an outside perspective, Antonio’s accomplishments are so numerous and his successes so constant throughout his life that it is hard to fathom the numerable obstacles he actually had to overcome. While Antonio is globally respected and admired for his triumphs both on dryland and in the water, The Forever Swim provides an unknown, inside view of a remarkable person.

The Forever Swim will result in readers respecting this personable icon even more. Steven Munatones

Swimming is a sort of shared solitude. And when it comes to swimming the English Channel, the endless blue becomes the sum of fears, aspirations and dreams. One moment you see it and the next moment you don’t. When someone swims for hours on end, the only ally and enemy, I suppose, is oneself. The sea and the English Channel have always been there, and the swimmer who attempts to cross them becomes a kind of intruder. The sea does what it always does: Continue its life of endless movement, while at the same time becoming a witness in the search of personal challenges and achievements. It also becomes witness to the drama of men and women who live through a special kind of solitude for many hours.
