Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on December 05, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Lewis Pugh! You're truly the coolest swimmer we know—literally. Who else would voluntarily plunge into icy waters at both poles for fun? Your daring swims across the North Pole and courageous expeditions completing long-distance adventures worldwide remind us all that climate action isn't just important; it can also give you legendary bragging rights.

As you celebrate another lap around the globe (this time on dry land), remember you've inspired countless with your fearless dedication to protecting our oceans. May today’s festivities involve water that's warm enough not to require survival training! Keep swimming strong and making waves—we salute your remarkable journeys every day.
