While the eyes of the LA28 Organizing Committee, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association, USA Swimming, and the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee will be on the college student-athletes at the 5 km MPSF Open Water Swimming Championships, there will also be older masters swimmers competing in the same course in Marine Stadium in Long Beach, California on October 19th.
The swimmers include Hannah Carlton, Stephanie McGee, Paula Vega, Stephanie Lal, Michele Lowry, Lexie Kelly, Astrid Collins, Carla Albano, Percy Escobar Coppa, Alberto Dominguez Jr., Rony Daher, Brody Lewis, Dylan Jones, Jack McCann, Tyler Phelps, Sea Atamdede, Bryce Cullinane, Aaron Blaisdell, Dave Bartels, David Schumacher, and Tim Burke.
Numerous local groups are lobbying for the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim course to be moved from its currently planned location at Alamitos Beach in Long Beach to Marine Stadium due to improved spectator seating and viewing, avoiding potential urban runoff due to rain, and the local organizational know-how.
The 5 km race on October 19th will be live streamed for a fee at Game On Live Studio. Race announcers will include former USA Swimming national team member Becca Mann.
