Since 2014, the group has taken part in more than 190 races. 


A motivating family in Dubai - who has vanquished a few marathons together - is preparing to set two Guinness World Records on Friday. 

Scratch and Rio Watson, the dad and child couple of #TeamAngelWolf, will take off into the water show the world how, with a little help, anyone can take an interest in sports and demonstrate that the sky is the limit. 

Rio is a 16-year-old kid with an uncommon chromosome issue, which influences his discourse and engine abilities and makes even basic developments - like strolling - a test. In any case, this doesn't prevent him from partaking in Dubai's hardest races. 

For the world record offer, Rio will sit in a kayak and his dad Nick - a previous Royal Marine and wellness master - will pull him while swimming for a few kilometers in vast water. 

The two records they are peering toward to break are: Fastest time to swim 5km in vast water while pulling a 16-year-old individual of assurance in a kayak, and quickest time to swim 10 km in untamed water while pulling a 16-year-old individual of assurance in a kayak. 

#TeamAngelWolf is a non-benefit establishment that attempts to advance the estimation of harmony, energize the consideration of individuals of assurance, and for society to grasp their own wellbeing. 

Since 2014, the group has taken an interest in more than 190 races. 

The family routinely takes an interest in dashing competitions in the UAE to bring issues to light of consideration and offspring of assurance through sports. 

Prior this year, Nick and Rio finished seven half-Ironman-separation marathons in seven emirates, in only seven days. 

Bolster the group in their Guinness World Record endeavor by rooting for them at Dubai Offshore Sailing Club on Saturday, from 6am to 12pm.
