As sunrise spills into sunset, Neil Agius swims through jellyfish-infested waters and the deep, dark depths of the sea. At 38, he stands as a two-time World Record holder for the longest unassisted swim—a feat only 1 in 8 billion can master. In September 2024, he captivated the nation, swimming 142.3 km over 60 gruelling hours, battling towering swells and enduring two bone-chilling nights. No sleep. No stops. No wetsuit. No contact with the boat. The camaraderie of his dedicated team lighting the way home.
The rhythm of the water flows through his veins, urging him to relentlessly push new boundaries with every stroke—and he shows no signs of stopping.
Neil’s mission emphasises the vital link between ocean health and human well-being. Alongside his remarkable swimming achievements, he founded Wave of Change NGO, igniting a global movement dedicated to safeguarding and revitalising our seas.
The highest wave to ride is mastering the relentless thoughts that can uplift or undermine one’s spirit. After confronting the challenges of his first unfinished swim in 2023, Neil developed "The Ocean Mindset," a set of unique techniques refined through his ultra-distance training that transcends the limits of human endurance.
Now, Neil shares The Ocean Mindset at immersive events, where participants engage in breathwork, ice baths, and other tools to enhance leadership, resilience, and overall well-being in both personal and professional realms.
With an aspiration to present his journey on an international stage, Neil seeks to empower individuals who are striving to elevate their mental and physical peak performance, encouraging them to draw strength from his experiences and the blueprint he is crafting for this uncharted path.
