In 1998 the French born Benoit Lecomte swam 3,716 miles from the US to France. The feat took him 72 days, with 6–8 hours spent swimming each day in sessions of about two hours' length. He was accompanied by a support boat, where he could rest and eat between each swimming period. The swim extended from Hyannis, Massachusetts to Quiberon, Brittany, France. He stopped for 1 week in the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. We have selected the shortest crossing point which is from South-West Senegal to North-East Brazil at just over 2000 miles.
