About Andrew Chin
Andrew Chin started swimming in 2000. soon after he did his first Robben Island, the rest is history. Andrew swims for the love of it, the sport has helped Andrew live his dreams and see and do what he never thought possible. Ice swimming kind of just happened with a trip to Zurich with Ram Barkai. The world of adventure was awakened and Andrew and Friends have toured the globe in search of swims. Andrew\'s Ice swimming career ended on an high with a 1km swim in Antarctica in March 2014. Andrew is now on a mission to highlight the plight of South African Rivers which are in desperate need to saving.
