46 solo swimmers and 18 relay teams representing 18 nations started early on July 26th in Rapperswil, Switzerland to compete in the annual International Self-Transcendence Marathon-Schwimmen.
"Our goal was to reach Zürich within the 12-hour cutoff by swimming nonstop or as a relay," said veteran Vasanti Niemz of Germany about the 26.4 km course. "The start of the solo swimmer heat was at 7 am, followed by the relay teams at 7:15 am. The weather conditions were excellent very windy with storm warnings the day before, the lake was now calm and peaceful, with just a bit of chop for some time after Meilen, the water temperature a comfortable 24°C with an air temperature of 23°C.
It was sunny in the morning and then turned overcast with the sun peeking out here and there again before some rain close to the cutoff time. Only three solo swimmers did not reach the halfway cutoff in Meilen/Küsnacht at 6:30 hours and had to give up.
The first swimmers to finish at the Badi Tiefenbrunnen in Zürich were the Swiss relay team Uusschwümme from Swimclub Thalwil with Christian Tschudi, Till Mesmer und Nadine Zürcher in 6 hours 14 minutes. Jason Gill from Glasgow was the next to arrive as the fastest solo wetsuit swimmer in 6 hours 52 minutes.
The fastest solo swimmer sans wetsuit was American John Zemaitis from Swim Neptune/Scottsdale (Arizona) in 7 hours 40 minutes. Friderike Wachs from Germany set a new meeting record in the women's wetsuit masters category with a 7 hour 53 minute traverse of Lake Zurich. The fastest woman to swim bioprene was British swimmer Jo Yetman of Portsmouth Triathlon Club in 8 hours 21 minutes.
Finisher faces were beaming as always, every finisher received a medal and a flower garland, the award ceremony was colorful and the huge vegetarian buffet was delicious as usual. Knowing there is some great food waiting always helps to make it across the last almost never-ending stretch from Küsnacht to the finish."
