Philippe Croizon became the first person without arms and legs to swim across the English Channel. The Frenchman lost his limbs in a freak accident, achieved the feat using specially designed prosthetic flippers. He set off from Folkestone, Kent, England at 8 am and reached Wissant, near Calais, France just before 9:30 pm in September 2010.
