The Dominican long distance swimming record holder Marcos Diaz was visiting friends in New York who convinced him to join a long distance swimming event. To everyone’s surprise he won the Ken Killian Ocean Mile Swim held in Rockaway, New York. Díaz set a 52 kilometer long distance record for the Dominican Republic in June. He is training for the Latin American Masters Championship which will take place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from 6-11 September.
