As part of a call to eliminate plastic water bottles from the waste stream, team members will swim inside one. A big one. Forty feet long and made from thousands of recycled plastic water bottles.

The proposed swimming schedule will be eight three-hour swimming shifts per day. Seven days a week.

The support vessel towing the giant bottle that team members will be swimming in will have a crew of ten, including a documentary crew.

Here are some early designs for the suit they’ll be wearing, as modelled by the PVC mascot, Gyronemo:
