Imagine swimming for 6 hours in almost complete darkness where the sky and sea merge and look endless. That sounds like some kind of ancient mythological description of Hell.
That woman is legend forever.... And from not being able to swim to becoming an ultra swimmer just shows with true ambition and dedication you can achieve greatness.
i dont know about the bioluminescence but a cuople of times i went woth a friend of mine to this bridge at night time so the bridge is like 100-150 metres of the shore at the end there is a second floor its like a 7-8 metres jump and then u swim 20 metres to this ladder to climb back so it was night time there are no light except from the ones on the shore and basically ur swimming in a dark space like a dark hole or something and it was scary but ur like 100 metres away from the shore image being in the middle of an ocean that would be scary as fuark
Say what you will about Joe Rogan, I love how excited and interested he gets in things. I've noticed a lot of people have a weird reaction when they hear something novel, which is to dismiss it or try and trivialise it. Maybe it's an ego thing. But Rogan always taks it as an opportunity.
Do this with anybody you meet with enthusiasm if you want to get to know them better. If you know the basics of what someone is talking about, they get really excited and go more in depth.
I think Joe is a very intelligent, logical person that makes a lot of sense. I truly believe he is amazed by the shit he hears. You can tell he is the kind of person who wants be educated on anything he doesn't really know a lot about. Hungry for information and wanting to better himself! Good on you brother, I appreciate your show and you!
Him explaining swimming against the current is absolutely insane to me. I frequently beach dive and even coming back to shore with a current is possibly the most mentally and physically exhausting thing I've done. JUST WOW!
Well considering SEALS ruck like 15-20+ miles a day (18+ hrs straight) while carrying 100+ lbs of gear/radios/ammo so they're fuckin machines in their own right
Guy: "I swam like 20 miles." Me: 'Holy shit that's amazing" Guy: "I did it at night, in pitch darkness." Me: "Wut" Guy: "I did it while sick and puking my guts out." Me: *dies
MARTINJW25 six hours of swimming would go by faster than work. You hit a rhythm that makes sense pass quicker or at least your perception of time passes quicker.
Like being heroin sick and finally getting well what a feeling but how long can one take this sick not sick routine I will hopefully get back to you about this.
I’ve watched a lot of joe Rogan, but this dude is one of the most interesting dudes he’s had. This dude could pretty much do anything he sets his mind to if you give him a year
Justin Elliott I feel you bro. I love to swim and I'm a fairly decent swimmer but as soon as I can't see the bottom I'm terrified. I be imagining megladon and shit is coming for me lol
I hear ya. I get that shit watching those nutbags hang off of towers and buildings. I literally have to like jump backwards. I’m pretty sure someone who does those types of things has more to do with being retarded than being brave though.
what a person can push themselves to do is pretty impressive in my opinion. in my mid 40's, i decided i wanted to get in better shape, but since 12yrs old ive worked hard physical jobs, and by my late 20's my body was showing the signs of deterioration. i have terrible back back, numbness in my upper back, knee issues, etc, but i was determined. i spent 12months doing lifting, and upper body conditioning. Then the next 12 months i spent walking 250-350 miles per month. ive dropped closing in on 85lbs, with no steroids, no trainer, no gym membership, etc. just me , waking up at 5-6AM, and committing to the task.
"She is outta control" man love the wit brought to the channel due to the collaboration between rogans personality as well as the guests personas. looooooving it
I had that feeling after graduating basic training. After suffering for months and feeling cold and loveless I saw my mom, dad and wife and it was overwhelming
I had the pleasure of swimming a marathon with the legend Michael Read who at 76 was on of the oldest men to swim in that marathon of about 16-17 miles. The man is amazing for what he can do at that age.
As a long time competitive swimmer hearing about his experience going from a lake right to the ocean. Throwing up and continuing to just plow through it. He's an animal. I would have been like ok I need to figure this whole salt water thing out. Mucho props to you fam.
When I was in high school, we had to swim five miles in a pool for charity. It was one of the most brutal things I've ever endured and it's a cake walk compared to the things this dude does.
Attia has his own,great podcast called the drive. About health, happiness, longevity and often really nerdy medical stuff. Like lipoproteins and metabolic disease.
@TJXHT you gotta build up. Swimming is something ive done since a early age. Just keep doing more everytime you go. And go even when you don't want to.
That part about him swimming at midnight and Not being able to see anything but pitch black darkness for hours he literally described how he experienced and accomplished my greatest fear i honestly cried watching this
My Dad is a support paddler for a marathon swimmer over here in AUS! Dad has support a paddled the Catalina island channel and his story about them getting stalked by a killer whale is insane, these swimmers are legit mental! Loved this podcast, so relatable.
My favorite thing from the acceleration example they are talking about, is when you are SO hungover (I don't drink much anymore, but remember this feeling) and your body doesn't even trust you to drink water the next day and you puke it back up. You're so dehydrated and so hungry. The moment you're FINALLY able to drink water and keep it down: such an amazing feeling! Then finally able to eat a meal too. Feels so good! Just normal things, but because you can't have em for a while, feels so good
Velocity vs acceleration analogy is awesome. Exact reason Jesse Itzler had Goggins stay with him. Nothing was bad about his habits, just wanted to feel that life acceleration instead staying at constant velocity. Love it
My initial sport was swimming, from the age of 9 I was training 2 hours a night 5 nights a week and from 13 that went to 2 hours in the morning and 2 1/2 at night then 3 hours on Sundays. This gave me a great engine for many other sports I've taken up, and I've tried to introduce it as part of trading for Must Thai and Rugby. The results have been exceptional, I don't understand why every sport where endurance plays a part doesn't include some swimming in the training programs.
I was a keen swimmer until about 12 when I started focusing on track. My sprint coaches told me not to swim as it impacts hamstrings, and increases the risk of injury. I assume that this is also relevant to other sports, regardless of the cardiovascular benefits of swimming.
Wonderful content! Emotional acceleration really is a brilliant concept, and relief serves as strong evidence. I must say though, humans likely did evolve for swimming when compared to closely related primates (in the sense that other primates cannot swim at all). Keep up the JRE's! Bring on Nassim Haramein
I just saw a doc called Kims Swim, swam from golden gate bridge to some islands ~30miles away....which has like....lots of sharks....not a bad doc to watch for marathon swimming
This interests me as I too last year did my first marathon swim of about 17 miles and unfortunately for me, my first time had bad weather and after 12 hours of swimming with 3 miles to go, I was retired as it was already night and I was not going to finish in a good time. Hopefully this year will be different. But what a experience it was I can tell you that.
Cole LaFreniere swimmers actually have a bunch of injuries. Mainly shoulder injuries and sometimes knee injuries if you don’t swim breaststroke probably
People don’t get what swimming competitively does to your body. You will be beat down and broken physically and mentally after weeks of double training sessions. And to those who say you can’t get injured, you can; rotator cuff, shoulder ligaments, hip and knee injuries, and believe it or not running into walls during backstroke is possible (if the flags that tell you you’re nearing the wall are taken down mid-swim). My brother was swimming and the divers started practicing, so they removed the flags when he was going down the lane, and on the way back there were no flags to tell him to turn off the wall and he knocked himself out cold on the wall.
I go boating/fishing almost every weekend during the summer and occasionally jump into the ocean. This guy is a BEAST, no clue how he does it. I jump in with a rope and sometimes a life jacket on as well for extra precaution and the ocean currents are ridiculously strong even on calm days. I could swim as hard as I can and just go backwards haha, don're mess with the ocean. Mad respect.
Swimming is basically unreachable if you havent spent you youth in it like football. Everzly schwimmer who hab a proper core training outperforms every of their peers by 2-4 times in 50m. At higher distances its gets even rougher
The last part of this video is so refreshing and common sense if you love and cherish your family and most of all your children. This guy pushed himself to extremes that most people would just live and die to do yet he had the conscience which most people should have, to say to himself “ok I have a kid and if I keep doin this I’ll regret and lose time that I won’t get back with my child”. Alot of people these days so busy and are just so about what they wanna do or accomplish forget about the little ones that need them. Parents nowadays are way too much into work or hobbies and never enough hands on with their families. I first hand saw it myself with an uncle who lost everything because of a job. Money hungry.......
Love his theory on the acceleration on happiness. Also there is nothing that makes me feel more human than coming back from a gruelling multi day hike and taking a hot shower
Look up Ross Edgley. Swam 1780 miles around Great Britain in 157 days (he spent one of those days swimming whilst throwing up after catching a bug). Up to 12 hours a day through storms, jellyfish and the North Sea. Oh and his tongue started to fall apart due to salt water exposure.
Seriously. I took a moment to feel how quick that is even without water, I can't imagine maintaining that pace for basically any amount of time in the water. It's hard to even believe it's possible!
@Son Of Rabat what are you on about moron? She was an extremely talented swimmer and achieved many other notable swims. You're sceptical because it's something you couldn't do and you know nothing about.
Yeah the bioluminecsent microbes hit hard in 2005 in SoCal. White of the waves lighting up bright blue green by the friction. Even stepping on the wet sand. It was amazing down in Encinitas where I was. I'll never forget that. Hope it happens again.
Most swimmers i know are pretty shitty athletes. Maybe they can do cycling, but they can't really run, which doesn't make them great at triathlon. And they completly suck at sports that requires quick direction changes like football, soccer, etc.
They should GoPro that midnight footage of swimming from Calatina Island at midnight and then skip forward to seeing Los Angeles lights. That would be awesome. I'm certainly not going to do that swim myself though.
I did the Lanai - Maui swim in a TEAM of 4 PEOPLE, I reckon if I really tried I would have been able to swim maybe half of it before drowning. I can't imagine swimming the whole thing, let alone there and back. My god. Maybe if I keep training and turn 18 I can try swimming the whole thing, but I don't think I'll be breaking any records or doing the round trip. Props to the people that completed the solo race in 2019, (when I did it), apparently it was the worst conditions seen in 30 years. Tough race man.
As a marathon runner. I can walk, I can sit and I have bathrooms people cheering and handing food, and there's zero sharks or jellyfish kicking my ass. Tough, tough, tough people.
I love the fact that he wanted to be an ultra swimmer...but first needed to learn how to swim.

Parents nowadays are way too much into work or hobbies and never enough hands on with their families. I first hand saw it myself with an uncle who lost everything because of a job. Money hungry.......
I beat my head against the wall for an hour. Then I stop. It feels soooooo awesome
I think I get what he's saying now. Thanks for providing a more relatable example
Love his theory on the acceleration on happiness. Also there is nothing that makes me feel more human than coming back from a gruelling multi day hike and taking a hot shower
Someone should make a “Joe Rogan AMAZED” compilation.
Shogun Rua is such an inspirational guy
Look up Ross Edgley. Swam 1780 miles around Great Britain in 157 days (he spent one of those days swimming whilst throwing up after catching a bug). Up to 12 hours a day through storms, jellyfish and the North Sea. Oh and his tongue started to fall apart due to salt water exposure.
Init I was thinking this is pathetic next to Ross lmao
Ross is a wild guy.
That lady swimmer is a BEAST! To have a hand hit the water under 2/3 of a sec.
Seriously. I took a moment to feel how quick that is even without water, I can't imagine maintaining that pace for basically any amount of time in the water. It's hard to even believe it's possible!
@@pangurechyx3010 Riiight! I've heard of reflex(s) being like .5 of sec but this seems, it is impossible for me.
She's shorter, hence more strokes per minutes.
Aaliyah Lopez each arm weighs less evens out
I love your podcast bro. Doesn’t matter what gets recommended. It’s so good every time.
this ultra swimmer guy should be a writer he was really making this vivid
This guy is a legend
Learns to swim late
Holds a world record
Her name is Penny Lee Dean “Open water swimmer” incase anyone else is interested in his inspiration😉
Love Of inquiry nah I’m good
@Son Of Rabat she was actually a fish
@Son Of Rabat no I mean it wasn’t a women they were talking about it was a fish. An actual salmon
@Son Of Rabat what are you on about moron? She was an extremely talented swimmer and achieved many other notable swims. You're sceptical because it's something you couldn't do and you know nothing about.
Yeah the bioluminecsent microbes hit hard in 2005 in SoCal. White of the waves lighting up bright blue green by the friction. Even stepping on the wet sand. It was amazing down in Encinitas where I was. I'll never forget that. Hope it happens again.
You just keep amazing us with these unique human beings like yourself. Thank you very much. I love water and i looove swwiming
10:52 how to pose “what are you running from?” in a friendly manner
I'm pretty damn athletic. But swimming was one of those activities I would get so mad at because I couldn't master the skill.
JD Davis it's such a good work out. I always get hella hungry when I swim
W A K E A N T H E M Why?
W A K E A N T H E M I can hold it for like 2min and 30s but like I've never focused on it. I did swim for over 15 years now
Most swimmers i know are pretty shitty athletes. Maybe they can do cycling, but they can't really run, which doesn't make them great at triathlon. And they completly suck at sports that requires quick direction changes like football, soccer, etc.
JD Davis Don’t worry, I used to swim and I suck at literally anything else except rowing which has similar movements
i wish i had this guys drive and determination. that is amazing.
The mental toughness to push yourself has be a huge component.
"There & Back Again: A Joe Whoagan Tale"
They should GoPro that midnight footage of swimming from Calatina Island at midnight and then skip forward to seeing Los Angeles lights. That would be awesome. I'm certainly not going to do that swim myself though.
"Amazing season of my life" I never really thought of it that way!
What a fascinating guest and the stories he brings. 👍
I did the Lanai - Maui swim in a TEAM of 4 PEOPLE, I reckon if I really tried I would have been able to swim maybe half of it before drowning. I can't imagine swimming the whole thing, let alone there and back. My god. Maybe if I keep training and turn 18 I can try swimming the whole thing, but I don't think I'll be breaking any records or doing the round trip.
Props to the people that completed the solo race in 2019, (when I did it), apparently it was the worst conditions seen in 30 years. Tough race man.
As a marathon runner. I can walk, I can sit and I have bathrooms people cheering and handing food, and there's zero sharks or jellyfish kicking my ass. Tough, tough, tough people.
Dr Peter Attia. What a legend!
One of my all time favorite guests. His voice sounds like Dr.strange to me
Man this guy is the aquatic Chuck Norris.
Shit like this really validates the Jre fandom. Joe does a great job here.
the whole midnight swimming thing is probably the most insane thing ive ever heard of.
5:21 holy shit i have the exact same theory
