Mihir Sen (November 16, 1930 – June 11, 1997) was a well-known Indian long-distance swimmer and lawyer. In 1958, he was the first Asian to cross the English Channel from Dover to Calais, and he did so in the fourth fastest time (14 hrs & 45 mins). He was the first and only person to swim the oceans of all five continents in a single calendar year (1966). The Palk Strait, the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus, Gibraltar, and the entire length of the Panama Canal were among them. This extraordinary feat earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "world's greatest long distance swimmer."
