Long distance swimming has is a very historic sport, from 5km to 25km and then the channel swims, such as England to France. There is a long history of racing, so they decided upon 10km as this would be a similar time (2 hours) to a marathon running event.
Nice swimming🏊🏊🏊

Why did the ioc decide add marathon swimming at 2008 Olympics anyway?
