The record for the world's longest non-stop river swim is 510 kilometers over 60 hours on the Yukon River.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The distance and river are supported, but Guinness records 510.558 km in 54 hours 45 minutes 30 seconds, not 60 hours. Its exact category is longest distance assisted adventure swim. Ross's non-stop achievement is real; the duration and unrestricted river-record wording are imprecise.
