Reblogged from The Daily What:
Philippe Croizon is a world class athlete who will swim between every continent in the world this summer. Croizon also lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 18 years ago. So how will he do it?
He uses homemade fins attached with stirrups to what's left of his legs, and no prosthetics on his arms. He also uses a large snorkel to breathe.
