The IOC has just announced that the men's and women's 10k open water races have been added to the program for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
This is a great time to create open water events that are dual sanctioned with USMS and USA Swimming.
Hi Mark;
I saw that news today and was happy because its a big step for Open Water swimming. However at the same meeting I was sad to hear that the IOC defeated adding the 50's of strokes to the Olympics like they have in the World Championships. They should follow Masters example and do this. Well win some lose some.
