SOLO CORTEZ - April, 2012 (Paul Lundgren)

SAN FRANCISCO — On June 30th, 49-year-old Californian Paul Lundgren will attempt to complete the longest solo open water swim in history.

If completed, his 80-mile swim across Mexico’s Sea of Cortez will also mark the first successful crossing of that body of water following two failed relays and one solo try. Paul is the only swimmer to take on a solo crossing.

Lundgren, a father of 7-year-old twin boys, admits to a “healthy obsession.” “This swim is an obsession; it requires obsession, but it also requires an uncompromising healthy lifestyle, perseverance in the face of obstacles and most importantly, it requires 100% commitment from my family. I am blessed to have the full support of my wife, Chris Chorak, who not only manages her company, Presidio Sport and Medicine, but is the glue that holds our family together. The Sea of Cortez is only a small chapter in this amazing life we share.”
