Oceans Seven swimmer Anna-Carin Nordin is stage swimming over 300 cumulative kilometers around Öland, the second largest Swedish island with an area of 1,342 square kilometers located in the Baltic Sea.
The plan is to swim about 20 km per day, getting in the water twice per day, with Eva Samberg escorting the Swedish International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame Honor Swimmer in a kayak with her father Karl-Erik Nordin serving as the ground support crew. The trio will start their unprecedented circumnavigation stage swim on July 28th and finish on August 11th.
