The open water swimmers Kassius
Prestes, Gustavo Brenner, Thiago Schmitt, Marcio Weber, Jeferson Fischer Sperb,
Wilmar Araújo, Gerson Martins, and Rubens Assis accomplished this Sunday
(11/04), the 11 Km Ilha Grande / Foz do Rio Palmares Challenge. Kassius was the
first to complete the crossing in 2h5m7sec. Two speedboats, a fishing boat, and
three kayaks accompanied the swimmers throughout the course, under the
supervision of Francismar Siviero.
Ilha Grande, the starting point, is
located between the lagoons of Casamento, Rio Manjolo, and Lagoa dos Patos. It
has 1800 uninhabited hectares. The fauna and flora are preserved, and several
species of orchids, bromeliads, cactus, palm trees, centenary fig trees can be
found. In the characteristic fauna, you can see caturritas, tarrãs, swamps,
capybaras, armadillos, wild horses, and several birds. Further inland from the
island is the Rio Morto, which receives its name because it cannot be navigated
due to the thick vegetation that grew in the riverbed.
The event, organized by the Nadando
Pelos Cartões Postais Project, was supported by Weber Super Oil Change, Super
Lang Palmares do Sul, Mormaii Natação and Decathlon Iguatemi.
The Nadando Pelos Cartões Postais
project seeks to unite sport and ecological awareness with its open water
activities. Find out more on how to participate and support this project
