Apparently, she's never seen Merle Liivand swim. Liivand, also known as "Eco Mermaid," broke a Guinness World Record in May by completing a 26.22-mile swim using a silicone monofin. To set the record, Liivand could not use her arms. "Swimming with the monofin without using my arms is similar to how dolphins and marine animals swim," she told Guinness. During her swim, Liivand collected trash found in the ocean.
