Sometimes we set boundaries for ourselves in life, or even worse, we allow others to do so. In many cases, these boundaries are in our mind and need to be pushed away.”
As a speaker, Lewis explains his hard-earned lessons and transforms his experiences into lessons that every person can apply to their own work and lives.
Lewis is formidably persuasive, speaking out for what he believes in, and sharing astonishing stories of his feats as an endurance swimmer in some of the most unchartered and intimidating environments on the planet. He is capable of changing minds, inspiring and entertaining global audiences.
During his talks, Lewis shares the visualisation strategies, radical tactical shifts, teamwork and focus that enable him to achieve seemingly impossible tasks.
Most importantly he inspires people to dig deep, define their goals and achieve their own ‘impossible’.

As UN Patron of the Oceans, it falls to Lewis to speak for the voiceless, to be a voice for the ocean and all the magnificent lifeforms that live in it.
