Duong Minh Quang completes 60.6km overnight river swim

Vietnamese amateur swimmer Duong Minh Quang has completed a 60.6km overnight river swimming challenge. Quang, a swimming instructor at an international school in Hanoi, maintains a rigorous training regimen including daily swimming, gym workouts, and running to support his passion for long-distance endurance sports.

Quang has a history of significant distance swimming achievements. In November 2020, he and fellow swimmer Nguyen Ngoc Khanh became the first Vietnamese amateur swimmers to complete a 200km river swim from Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi to the Ba Lat estuary over three consecutive days. His interest in outdoor long-distance swimming intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic when access to indoor facilities was restricted.
