Faisal Al-Mosawi, a 38-year-old Kuwaiti diver, has once again defied the odds and etched his name in the record books by becoming the world's fastest wheelchair diver. This incredible achievement has earned him an official Guinness World Record, as he completed the challenging feat in an astounding 37 minutes for a distance of 400 meters, swimming back and forth in the Dubai Aquarium.
This remarkable accomplishment on Monday marks Faisal's third trophy, adding to his previous records as the fastest 10 km swimmer in 2018 and the fastest snorkelling swimmer in 2022.
Faisal could be seen diving with his wheelchair into the Dubai Aquarium, immersing himself in a breathtaking marine environment, while crowds in Dubai Mall were cheering and applauding. Al-Mosawi also thanked his family for their unlimited support and his team who helped him in the training and preparations stage.
Faisal dedicated four months of intense training to prepare himself for this incredible undertaking. His training regimen encompassed physical fitness, swimming, and diving in order to ensure he was fully prepared for the task at hand.
"Today's achievement is proof of the perseverance power and the limitless potential of the human spirit," Faisal exclaimed. He further added, " Once again, I am very proud to demonstrate the capabilities of adaptive sports. This record is not just mine; it belongs to every individual who refuses to be defined by limitations."
Al Mosawi, born in Kuwait, had a bright future as a football player until his life took an unexpected turn in 2005 when a car accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. However, instead of giving up, he persevered and found his passion for diving two years later. Since then, he has dedicated himself to pushing boundaries and breaking barriers.
