"It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life," Davies told Reuters. "I made a lot of errors but I have to swim it that way, I have to do it from the front.

"I was swimming in zig zags, I was all over the place but I'm very proud of what I achieved."

He added: "Maarten is a worthy champion, a tough competitor, his story can inspire others. What he's achieved is fantastic, phenomenal."
