Niek Kloots of Open Water Swimming in Europe reported that the 22K IJsselmeer Marathon Swim, that also serves at the Dutch marathon swimming national championship, has reached its capacity of 16 swimmers. 21 swimmers have entered and the organizers are trying to obtain additional escort boats so everyone can start on August 8th.
IJsselmeer Marathon Swim is one of the world's longest running marathon swims (now in its fourth decade) and was recognized with a Certificate of Merit by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame in 2007.
Certificate of Merit winners can be athletes, coaches, administrators or organizations that are considered by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame to make major contribution to the sport of open water/marathon swimming.
