On August 29, 2007, 50-year-old Storch swam a record breaking 85.5 miles unassisted continuous triple lap swim around Manhattan Island, completing the swim in 32 hours and 52 minutes, breaking two recognized records and qualifying him for an ESPN ESPY Award. Storch did not stop swimming but did stop river boat traffic. He was nominated for an ESPN ESPY award, "Best Outdoor Sportsman", for this achievement in 2008.
On September 15, 2017 Storch was arrested on felony charges of sexual assault against a child under the age of 13. He was originally remanded to the county prison without bail but is currently out on bond awaiting his next court date (set for October 16th). During the course of the investigation, authorities said they learned Storch committed sexual acts with the child between June 2008 and December 2011.
Storch lives and works in Nanuet, New York, at his own Tackle and Fly shop called SHU-Fly. He is the assistant swimming coach at Ramapo College in Mahwah, New Jersey, and trains at LifePlex pool in Monsey, New York.
