Jan Sibbersen broke the Kona swim record in 2018, recording an incredible 46.29. This is made all the more remarkable given that he was 43 years old and it was nearly 20 years since he’d retired as a professional triathlete!
We hear the full story of Jan’s life, from his beginnings as an Olympic swimming hopeful, his quest to break the Kona swim record in the early 2000’s, his move into business with starting Sailfish Wetsuits, and then managing Patrick Lange, and finally, the culmination of his dream - could he make a comeback, and swim faster than ever, nearly 20 years after his competitive career had ended?
