US Man Ben Katzman Sets World Record By Swimming 8.6-Km Handcuffed

In a jaw-dropping display, a US man named Ben Katzman created a Guinness World Record by swimming 5.35 miles (8.6 Km) wearing handcuffs. Achieving the feat in four hours, the 32-year-old swam 344 times the length of the King George YMCA pool. Previously, the feat was held by Iranian swimmer Elham Sadat Asghari, who swam 3.41 miles. Interestingly, Virginia’s Ben broke his personal best by swimming for the longest time ever.
