55 Utterly Weird Photos of What an Athlete’s Body May Look Like

Have you taken a long hot shower before and come out looking a bit like a prune? Well, whatever wrinkling that happened to your body is probably nowhere near the severity of this. These hands belong to a certain Maarten Van Der Weijden, whose purpose in life is to swim, swim, swim.

This image was snapped immediately after he participated in a 101-mile swim. In 2019, he took it upon himself to swim the Elfstedentocht for charity, raising over $6.7 million from doing what he does best. Today, the man is 40 years old, but since his “official” retirement in 2008, he has swum over thousands of miles and is still going strong.
