Canada has long enjoyed a number of its athletes and events honored by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame, a total of 20 honorees in total over the generations:

Mexico has two of its athletes similarly honored by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame: Antonio Argüelles Díaz-González and Nora Toledano Cadena.

IMSHOF Chairperson Ned Denison announced that the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame added a Canadian and a Mexican as new members of its Executive Committee: Nora Toledano Cadena (shown below) and Madhu Nagaraja (shown above).

Nagaraja is Canadian (born in India) and has been documenting marathon swimming history, administering and volunteering for swims of all kinds in the Great Lakes area, and serves as a Marathon Swimming Mentor.
