Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. French swimmers Aurélie Muller (a 2008 and 2016 Olympian) and Stéphane Lecat (th winner in 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000 shown on left) will be showcased in the filming of this year’s 43rd edition of the 57 km Maratón Acuática Internacional Santa Fe – Coronda.
Broadcast by Canal+, the Intérieur Sport program will produce a documentary on the sights and sounds of the fans throughout the 57 kilometers of race, as well as the professional marathon swim that is engulfed in a rich history of a river festival.
The story of the Santa Fe – Coronda Marathon will be told through the eyes of Muller and Lecat.
While Lecat completed dozens of swims over 25 km, including an 8 hour 19 minute crossing of the English Channel, this will be Muller’s longest race by far.
