Ben swims for 8 hours a day in the open ocean. Each morning he follows a meticulous process to ensure he is both mentally and physically able to cope with the stress on his body.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The hardest part of the swim is the first couple of hours, Ben’s body has to warm up and it takes persistence to ease his mind. He focuses on the stream-line while he disassociates his body from his mind through meditation. This crucial part is where the months of preparation and training pays off as Ben can rely on his technique and mental strength to set himself almost on autopilot.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @thevortexswim #thevortexswim #movetonatural #plasticocean #longdistanceswimmer #oceanpollution #zerowaste #plasticfree
