Ultra marathon swimmer Andy Donaldson has set a new world record in the Ord River in Western Australia's east Kimberley region. He has completed the 55-kilometre swim in eleven hours and fifty-one minutes breaking the inaugural record of 16 hours set two years ago. Perth based Donaldson says it's his longest ever solo swim, and it took all his strength to cross the finish line at Kununurra.
