Joe Rainero completed the unprecedented 7.6-mile (12.2 km) Kaibo to Camana Bay Swim on Grand Cayman Island in the Cayman Islands in 3 hours 45 minutes.

“With the water a warm 82°F, the day started with very calm wind and water conditions. After swimming past Starfish Point, the waves and wind picked up. The wind speed reached 16+ mph and the waves were moderate to large in size.”
