Savage feat of endurance. I wonder how many calories that burns.

All of them

At high intensity about 14k.

Damn, you can cross the English Channel on roughly 28 Belgian waffles?

Depends on how well you lash them together.

I have no source but I recall seeing a before and after picture. The before was fat. The after was skinny.

A quick google shows people estimating 500-750 kcal/hour when swimming the English Channel. And another big range, but it looks like ~15 hours is a decent estimate for a one-way crossing, so that’s ~7,000-11,000 kcal, which assuming 3500kcal/lb of fat, that’s 2-3 lbs. This is all ignoring the fact that most of the energy burned is actually glycogen and food consumed during the swim, not fat reserves.
