Meet A Polar Bear On Canal Walk

Swimmers and fans of extraordinary endurance feats can meet environmental campaigner, explorer, author and swimming pioneer Lewis Pugh who will give a motivation talk followed by a book-signing of his book, Achieving the Impossible, at the Speedo Concept Store at Canal Walk in Cape Town, South Africa this week on December 9th.

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair says of Lewis, "Lewis has displayed remarkable determination, professionalism and single-mindedness in pursuit of his goals. He is hugely motivating and a great role model."

"Lewis tells a very inspiring and motivating story of achieving sporting excellence at its most extreme. I was blown away by it and at the same time saw real value in how we can all approach our challenges and reach our goals," said Gary Kirsten, Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team."
