*CONGRATULATIONS TO ISRAEL FOR BREAKING WORLD RECORD FOR SWIMMING IN THE OPEN SEA* The six swimmers, who broke the world record for swimming 380 kilometers in 124 hours in the open sea from Cyprus to Israel, arrived in Tel Aviv on Saturday morning exhausted but content. We did it. Our muscles hurt, and our hearts are filled with pride, the groups coach, Uri Selah, said. The swimmers set out to break the record to raise awareness to saving the sea and preventing water pollution. They called on the public to join the Zalul environmental NGO in actively working to keep the ocean waters clear and transparent. The Guinness Book of World Records is expected to recognize the record after confirming it, and the World Open Water Swimming Association has nominated the swimmers for the annual WOWSA Awards. Well done, Israel! ynetnews/articles/0,7340,L-4579508,00.html
