Season Main Programme

Across five continents and seven of the world’s most brutal channels, Australian swimmer Mark Sowerby takes on the Oceans Seven, an ordeal as unforgiving as Everest, but in open water. No cage. No wetsuit. No escape. Just man against Mother Nature.

After a life-changing event leaves him struggling with uncertainty, coach Tim Denyer pushes Mark to turn anguish into purpose. To survive, he must keep his stroke rate consistent, don’t splash too much, and keep his heart rate down - Don’t Be Prey. 

Over a decade of relentless pursuit, from the icy Irish Sea to the shark-patrolled waters of Hawaii, and featuring Donaghadee's own open water swimmers the Chunky Dunkers, Mark pushes human endurance to its limits. What unfolds is not only a quest for survival but a profound journey of resilience and healing.

The 6.00pm screening on Fri 27 Mar will be followed by a Q&A with coach Tim Denyer, swimmer Mark Sowerby and Jacqueline McClelland from Infinity Channel Swimming to share insights from this decade-long journey.
