Oceanman Swimming Series Announces U.S. Launch

Oceanman, a global open water swimming series with events established across Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, has announced its official launch in the United States.

“It’s an honor to introduce Oceanman to the United States,” said Lenny Krayzelburg, four-time Olympic Gold Medalist, co-founder of Oceanman USA. “It’s hard to believe that Oceanman hasn’t been in the U.S. until now — a country where swimming is such an integral part of the culture. This series invites swimmers from around the world to experience the beauty of our open water locations and become part of something bigger. Our mission is to grow a passionate community and deliver unforgettable race experiences that unite swimmers across borders.”

Founded in 2015, Oceanman is a global open water swimming circuit created by and for open water swimmers that hosts events in over 25 countries. Oceanman USA will maintain the international format of the series, offering various distances — including short, medium and long races — in open water locations across the country. The events will be open to all levels, from recreational swimmers to professionals, with a strong emphasis on safety and inclusion.

“We are excited to bring Oceanman to the United States,” said Fremin Egido, Oceanman chief executive officer. “The U.S. has a vibrant swimming culture, and we believe Oceanman will resonate deeply with athletes looking for new challenges and meaningful experiences in open water. This is a significant milestone for our global community.”
