Watch: Swimming To Valletta Proves Quicker Than Driving And It’s Going Viral

A TikTok video by user @thejakeborg has recently gone viral, capturing the attention of over 80,000 viewers. The clip shows the creator and a friend attempting to swim from The Point swimming area all the way across the water to Valletta.
In the video, they admit that they initially thought the swim would be simple, estimating it would take only 20 minutes. However, they quickly discovered that the challenge was far greater than they had expected.
The post has sparked plenty of conversation, with some viewers admitting they’ve taken on the same daring swim in previous years, while others questioned its safety, especially given the risks of swimming in an active shipping lane.
What do you make of this?
