World Record

The Fat Burning Access® Bar!
On Sunday, June 6th, after nine hours, 56 minutes and 57 seconds, world record holding marathon swimmer, Tammy Van Wisse became the first person to ever conquer the Gippsland Lakes – the largest inland waterway system in the southern hemisphere.
Tammy has broken several world records in long distance swimming in her lifetime but she says this 24 mile swim is one she won't forget. "I was probably more swollen from the cold in this swim than any other swim," she says. "I started at 4:00 a.m. and it was minus 2 degrees Celsius! It was so cold that my crew couldn't stay in the boat. They had to rotate because they couldn't drive the boat. Their hands were freezing," she adds. "My whole body was swollen when I got out. In fact, when I finished I couldn't even see my knuckles. It took about 48 hours for the swelling to go down in my hands."
With extreme conditions such as these, many people wonder how Tammy's accomplishments are possible! Since swimming competitively from age 11 Tammy has swum over 60,000 kilometers in her lifetime and she came to Convention in Salt Lake City to tell us how she does it!
"I've swum over 60,000 kilometers in my life and 50,000 of those were powered by the Access Bar!" she said as the crowd exploded in applause. "I've used this product for over 10 years now and I wouldn't use anything else. My success is a combination of being strong mentally and using the Access Bar to go beyond what people consider achievable," she says.
And the Access Bar helps her do this because it is made with patented food ingredients that contain "adenosine receptor antagonists" which, simply put, allow the body to more quickly convert fat into energy which the body can gain access to and burn during exercise. When taken 15 minutes before any workout the Access Bar "overrides" the energy-sapping effects of adenosine so the body is able to burn more fat, burst energy levels, minimize fatigue, reduce lactic acid build-up, and increase muscle fiber recruitment for a more efficient workout. It allows the body to naturally burn more fat and get more out of your workouts. Tammy says while her positive attitude and mental strength take her a long way, she won't go without the Access Bar!
"I try to maintain a very positive attitude and mostly I smile and laugh while I'm swimming. I can even talk in between freestyle strokes!" she laughs. "The crew in the boat next to me has a whiteboard and writes me messages – sometimes information like how many kilometers to go, and also when it's time to feed. I have a cup of tea in the water every 20 minutes and I eat half an Access Bar every 40 minutes to keep me going. The difference the Access Bar makes in my swims is immense! I basically live and breathe the Access Bar. I am a walking billboard for the Access Bar."
Tammy says after accomplishing such a difficult swim, her crew was astounded when she woke up the next morning without a hint of soreness! "The next morning I woke up and had no muscle fatigue whatsoever and my crew was amazed," she laughs. "They told me, 'We were just sitting on the boat all day and we're exhausted!'"
As one of the most accomplished swimmers in the world, Tammy's strong endorsement of the Access Bar has people coming from all over to learn more about it. "I put on eight kilos for this swim," she says. "And I lost six of the kilos during the swim. I mentioned that on the radio station after my swim and the phones started ringing off the hook. Everyone wanted to know where they could get these bars!"
The radio wasn't the only place Tammy was highlighted. "Discovery Channel spent a whole day filming me and the crew with underwater cameras, capturing how my stroke works and filming me eating an Access Bar," she says. "They are going to show what happens in your body when you eat these bars." The show will air in on the Discovery Health Channel and reach over 550 million viewers worldwide!*
"I'm very passionate about marathon swimming," she says. "I love what I do. To do this sort of sport you have to," she laughs. "And while we all ride this rollercoaster called life and no one is immune to the many ups and downs it presents to us, if you teach yourself to look for the ups and concentrate your focus on these, then your ride will be a lot more enjoyable."
We would like to extend a warm congratulations to Tammy for all of her success and a big thanks for visiting with Marketing Executives at Convention to share her inspiring experiences!
