Oceans 7
The Oceans Grand Slam is an Open Water Swimming solo challenge to complete the Oceans Seven (crossing of seven channels around the world), in addition to completing a 1 km swim anywhere within the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Ocean. The Oceans Grand Slam is Open Water Swimming's equivalent of the Explorers Grand Slam (achieved by 64 mountaineers to date).
Only 18 swimmers have completed the Oceans 7. I aspire to be the first individual to complete the Oceans Grand Slam, and will keep my progress below:
