Want to swim the Kaiwi Channel?
Complete the Oceans 7
News Flash: Steven Minaglia of Maui Nui Swim and Captain Jamie Barlow planned and navigated the all-time record breaking swims of the Kaiwi Channel IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. The ocean is chaotic and luck favors the prepared when swimming across the Kaiwi Channel. Records belong to the swimmer and are meant to be broken. Yet channel swimming is a team sport. According to Steven Minaglia of Maui Nui Swim, "We aim to use our experience and all available data to make swims across the Kaiwi Channel more safe and efficient".
Congratulations to Andreas Waschburger, Loren King and their teams!
