Complete the Oceans 7
The ocean is chaotic and luck favors the prepared when swimming across the Kaiwi Channel. Records belong to the swimmer. Yet channel swimming is a team sport. Steven Minaglia of Maui Nui Swim and Captain Jamie Barlow organized the all-time record breaking swims of the Kaiwi Channel IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. Records are meant to be broken.
Congratulations to Andreas Waschburger, Loren King and their teams!
