Nice 600km stage summer swim

Jonas Colting did this swim 2014 - however with fins(!) and sometimes with wetsuit, water temp was between 16-20 and he averaged 20km a day.

Nice stage swim to do with Marathon Swimmer rules!

    Wow. @ 360 miles for the entire thing. 15 stages alone comes out to a swim the distance of cycling through Tampa Bay, MIMS, EC, and Catalina four times until you finish. Who's got time for that?!

    He should get a medal for wearing fins. After a few thousand meters with fins on, my feet/ankles are ready to go naked. I think that would suck huge.

    I would kill my entire family if that's what it took to do a swim like this. It looks absolutely beautiful.

    I’d say it would be harder to persuade the wife and kids to tag along for a 40day trip across Sweden in a sailing boat on that Göta Canal, Lake Vanern and Vattern than to do the actual swim!!
