If successful, Bayigo will outdo the current record held by Nejib, who swam non-stop for 76 hours and 30 minutes from the 15th to 18th of September, 2018.
Nejib covered 120 kilometers (75 miles) across the Gulf of Gabes in the Mediterranean Sea, swimming between Sfax on the mainland of Tunisia and the island of Djerba.
