Elham Asghari swam 20 Km (13 Miles) in the Caspian sea which is located North of Iran. She broke the record and did while fully dressed in Islamic appropriate attire, she was swimming since young age when they parents got her their first Girls Swimwear and she got a passion for it. It was her dream to break this record and she did (go girl!) but she is getting push back from the Iranian authorities.
