"Winning has always been a priority, and I am confident in my ability to win my eighth title,” said the race’s most successful swimmer. 

The 29-year-old's first taste of victory came in the 13 years and under category, which he won back in 2004. Since 2008, he’s finished in the top 10 in the main race every year, including his run of seven titles from 2010 to 2016.
