Ross Edgley is an extreme adventurer, ultra-marathon sea swimmer, and author.

Aided by a team of experts who monitored the tides and his health in his 16 meters (52 feet) support boat Hecate, he typically swam for six hours, rested for six hours, and then swam for another six hours on repeat. He typically consumed around 15,000 calories a day.

On 23 September 2022, Edgley attempted a charity swim in Loch Ness. In preparation for the extreme endurance event and to counteract the cold effect of continual immersion in water, he gained 10 kilos of weight by consuming 10,000 calories a day.
