The record attempt started today at 2:00 PM and will last exactly one week. To achieve the record he has to swim about 19 hours a day.
Bonne links his record attempt to a good cause. As an ambassador for Pelicano, he wants to raise as much money as possible for children growing up in poverty. Visitors can sponsor a swimming lane during the record week and even swim alongside Bonne. For 10 euros, participants can reserve a court every day between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. for the benefit of the organization.
