Charles 'Chip' Peterson had a great start to his open water swimming career at the age of 18 when he won his first world 10 km championship in Montreal, Canada.

But a series of illnesses set him back over the intervening years. His career was hampered by months of training followed by months of being sidelined. But he's back, smiling and comfortable in his renewed speed, strength and stamina.

With an international victory earlier in the season at the FINA/HOSA 10K Marathon Swimming World Cup race in Setubal, Portugal, he climaxed his summer comeback of 2015 with a powerful victory at the 2015 Pan American Games 10 km marathon swim over American teammate David Heron.
