Jorge Ivan Agudelo

NAME: Jorge Ivan Agudelo but on social media they know me as Jorge Ivan del Valle

HOMETOWN: From Colombia, but currently living in California

BLS EXPERIENCE: Rookie

WHY BLS? My coach, Nora Toledano, recommended that I do this swim, so I signed up and I'm going to enjoy it a lot. I'm training to complete my Triple Crown next year in the English Channel after swimming Catalina and Manhattan in 2022.

MY CREW: My crewmember is fellow Colombian Julian with pilot John Grabynowicz. We are currently recording my documentary about the Triple Crown which will be called See You In The Water.

FUN FACT: My dad wanted me to be a soccer player and took me to soccer classes when I was a child, but I never liked them and I told him that I wanted to be a swimmer. Since I was 5 years old, I have spent almost every day in a swimming pool!
