The World-Famous, "Now Iconic", Open-Water Swim

The quality of this swim is attested to by the number of swimmers
of all levels, including world class, that travel from
near and far, at no small expense, to swim this
"Swim of All Swims"
This history will attempt to recount how it got that way.

How Did It Get This Way? Who Gets the Credit?

The Great Kahuna

He created Waikiki Bay, a swim venue made in his Heaven.
Perfect water, perfect sandy beaches and bottom, perfect waves,
perfect winds. He led the Hawaiian race to the perfect homeland for
these noble and courageous, long -haul Seafarers.
