Ivan Enderica Ochoa (#23) is Ecuador’s man at today’s Olympic marathon swim. He trains in Cuenca high up at 2,400 meters in the Andean Mountains.

He will swim proudly and quickly in the six 1.6km loops around the Serpentine. Many of the parents and close friends of the 25 male swimmers are gathering in a cafe at a strategic location with great views of the course.
