The unique ranking system for marathon swimmers of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and nationalities enables individuals to see rankings by age, by nationality, by gender, by year and by location (e.g., English Channel, Catalina Channel, Cook Strait, Strait of Gibraltar).

The ranking system will continued to be tweaked and modified in order to create buzz and continue the building excitement in the marathon swimming world. Thousands of athletes still need to be added to the automated system from 1875 to the present.

The ranking system will also be expanded to include all open water swims between 1K and 88K by year-end.
