Heather Swan

An Australian husband and wife team, Glenn Singleman and Heather Swan jointly hold two World Records - one for the highest BASEjump and the other for the highest Wingsuit BASEjump, both set on 23 May 2006 from a 6660 metre Himalayan mountain. Dr. Glenn Singleman is well known to Australian and International audiences as a speaker and documentary film-maker. Glenn is a practicing medical doctor who can demonstrate with hard science, the benefits of adventure in overcoming our fears. He believes that it is only by overcoming fear that we can achieve our full human potential. Heather was a senior corporate executive with no experience in adventure when she challenged Glenn to teach her to climb, and BASEjump so they could attempt to break his existing world record together. The result was a 6-year odyssey, an enormous challenge beset with rigorous planning, training, profound disappointment and finally triumph. Heather is also an award winning author and successful businesswoman. Glenn and Heather live in Sydney. Together they have four children.
