Man runs one mile in swimming pool in 35 minutes, 24 seconds

A British man ran a distance of one mile through the water in a swimming pool in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record. Adam Lopez, 37, ran 63 laps in the 82-foot pool at Nuffield Health in Norwich, England, on Tuesday with a time of 35 minutes and 24 seconds. Lopez bested the current Guinness World Record by four and a half minutes, but evidence from his attempt still needs to be reviewed by officials before becoming official.
Lopez said he started exercising in the pool after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The record attempt raised money for a 5-year-old girl named Grace, who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy. The money will go toward home upgrades for the girl, including a hydrotherapy pool.
