Lucas Carbonaro joins a long list of open water swimming luminaries* when he gave his TED Talk at HEC Paris, an international business school established in 1881.

Last year in August, Carbonaro completed a 17 hour 22 minute crossing of the English Channel from England to France and spoke about his experience in front of an elite audience.
