Lewis is the only person to have completed a long distance swim in every ocean of the world. To date he has pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmer in history. Each of these seemingly impossible feats was done to raise awareness about the vulnerability of our oceans and their importance to humanity. And he’s not finished yet.
Lewis is a vivid storyteller. His address on leadership at the Business Innovation Forum in Rhode Island was voted as one of the “7 Most Inspiring Videos on the Web”.
Over 2.5 million people have viewed his TED talks, and countless others have followed him on BBC, Good Morning America, CNN, Jon Stewart, National Geographic, Sky News, Al Jazeera, Jay Leno and more. His autobiography “Achieving the Impossible” is a Bestseller and was chosen for Oprah’s Exclusive Book List.
Lewis has received a number of awards including France and South Africa’s highest honours, as well as the Freedom of the City of London. In 2010, the World Economic Forum named him a Young Global Leader for his “potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world through inspiring leadership” and in 2013 the United Nations Environment Programme appointed him “Patron of the Oceans.”
实现不可能
Lewis Pugh是唯一能在世界各大洋完成长距离游泳的人。历史上到目前为止，在著名的地标周围游泳的人中间，他是游得最多的人。这些看似不可能的事情被他奇迹般地做到了，这让我们对海洋的脆弱性和对人类意识的重要性有了进一步的提高。当然他还没有完全做到。
Lewis Pugh是一个很会讲故事的人。他在罗德岛商业改革论坛上关于领导的演讲被推举为 “网络上最鼓舞人心的7 个视频之一”。
