Chaos, you may not have been strong enough. I just heard through a reliable source that the Kingdom Swim had to forsake there USMS Championship designation for the 10-Mile event. I also understand the race will go on without USMS. But for all practical purposes, for any swim that would require motorized boats for safety purposes, this year anyway, USMS is effectively out of the open water swimming business :-(
It is official, USMS pulled out of the Kingdom Swim 10-mile championships. The championship swim will now be a WOWSA 10-mile World OW championship!
