'Expect the Unexpected' is one mantra of open water swimmers, whether it is in the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim, a solo swim or local ocean race.

Or will a new Olympic hero be Natalie du Toit, Maarten van der Weijden or some other unheralded marathon swimmer?
Over the next 14 days, we’ll bring you some special insight from these special athletes. Starting tomorrow, we provide a detailed Q&A series with Chloe and Mark.
