Open Water Coaching

Well done Coach José in The Philippines

Posted by our coach
I think it is time to comment on my participation in the 77th Worlds Longest Open Water Swimming National Competition, held by and swam in Bhagirathi River between Jangipur and Berhampore with a total distance of 81km.

This was my 4th participation, after I was not supposed to be back since my first time in 2016. If I did come back it has always been because friends requested me to go with them because of the difficulties of the location and language.

I added a bunch of photos from all editions with most representative moments.

My results:

2016 Champion 10h57min

2017 Champion 11hours 07minutes

2018 2nd place 11hours 02 minutes

2023 4th place 11hours 33minutes

Special thanks to because he came the first three editions and helped in the last one and without him we couldn't have participated.

2017 I shared the experience with and came for the 19km

2018 the experience was shared with and for the 81km and my lovely as feeder/lifesaver

And in 2023 I came with a bigger team, having Sandi, Zaimar, .chong and from Malaysia and from Spain.

I am not planning to swim the 81km again but I am offering to coach and guide any swimmer who wants to try to complete this event (pm me).
