Swimmer seems to interrupt Guinness World Record after swimming with 5,500 crocodiles

WATCH: Man swims 34 miles with 5,500 crocodiles

An Australian marathon swimmer hopes to interrupt a Guinness World Record after swimming alongside 5,500 crocodiles.

Andy Donaldson accomplished the possibly record-breaking swim in Australia, turning into the primary man to swim 34 miles up the Ord River, a physique of water with 5,500 crocs.

“I would never say I’m not scared going into something like this,” Donaldson told ABC News’ Danny New of his mindset earlier than the swim.

The Scottish-Australian swimmer, who already holds three Guinness World Records, mentioned he received the thought for the file after he was invited by a neighborhood swim coach to the city of Kununurra and was motivated to encourage youthful swimmers.

“One of those messages I think I’d love to get out to people is that no dream is ever too big,” Donaldson mentioned.

Donaldson’s swim took about 16 hours to finish, and for the final stretch, he was joined by plenty of native swimmers.

Even although he mentioned he had cramps “pretty much everywhere” after the long-distance swim, Donaldson mentioned that did not cease him from giving out high-fives to locals who got here out to look at and swim with him.

ABC News has reached out to Guinness World Records for remark.
