Longer unescorted swim races?

Does anyone know of some long (10km+) open water races where you don’t have a boat/escort for each individual? I’ve done a few like this including the Swim with a Mission in NH and am interested in finding more. Obviously there will still be safety boats, etc around the course, but looking for longer races that don’t require an escort for each swimmer.

  • How far are you willing to travel?  The Vidosternsimmet in Sweden is great...21.6km point to point with feeding stations and buoys along the way.  It's an excellent race. www.vidosternsimmet.com They even have a "down and back" for 43KM.

  • El Cruce Cancun offers 3 swims with no escort requirement.  1.9k, 3.8k. and 10k.  Best part is that you can do all of them, as they are on consecutive days.
