Fastest person to complete the Original Triple Crown (aggregate, male)

The fastest aggregate time to swim the Original Triple Crown by a male is 29 hours 23 minutes 33 seconds, achieved by Milko van Gool (Netherlands) when he successfully swam across the Bristol Channel from Glenthorne (West Somerset) to Porthcawl (south Wales) in 8 hours 20 minutes 28 seconds on 13 September 2024. He had previously swam the English Channel between England and France on 27 July 2011 (in 10 hours 29 minutes 5 seconds) and the North Channel between Northern Ireland and Scotland on 30 July 2013 (in 10 hours 34 minutes) .

Van Gool's super-fast crossing of the Bristol Channel, observed by Steve Butler and ratified by the Bristol Channel Swimming Association, represents a new course record for the 26-km (16-mi) Glenthorne<>Porthcawl route.
