5-Year-Old Pinoy Broke Swimming Record

Yup, the Guiness record for the youngest person to swim across a channel was broken by a 5 year-old pinoy named Justin Daniel Junio, son of a former Olympic swimmer. The record Justin broke was that of seven-year-old Braxton Bridley who swam the 2.25-kilometer channel between San Francisco and Alcatraz Island in California USA. Justin swam the three-kilometer wide Mactan channel and back in less than two hours. He battled the strong currents in the polluted channel between Mactan Island and Cebu mainland in a total of 6 kilometers in one hour and 58 minutes!
