Hi swimmers,
I was wondering if FINA will ever have a World Masters Open Water Championship. It think it will attract many swimmers. Maybe five days championship with distances from 10km, 5km, 3km, 1km???. Many of us don't like Pool events any more and unfortunately Fina doesn’t allow Master swimmers to do 1500mts. Yes some of us think 800 is too short.
I think this dream can come true, we just need support from out fellow Open water swimmers.
Just my two cents.:)

Hi kirk
Yeah How about just a World Open water master championship on the odd year for World Master championship. Just open water with several distance 10km one day maybe 3km, 5km and 1km and a Huge party after all.
I know Florida organize an Open Water Festival in June. Its a 3 days weekend of fun, fast swimming. Lets organize a FINA World Master Open water Event.
10Km is an olympic event, Open water is growing not only in the USA in the entire World.
