FINA confirmed that the 5K, 10K (Olympic 10K Marathon Swim qualifier), the newly introduced 5K Team Trial and 25K races will be televised from its 2011 FINA World Swimming Championships in Shanghai.

There will undoubtedly be high tension before each race, incredible tactical racing throughout each event and lots of emotion after each race – which should make for entertaining television.

More details on the TV coverage will be provided by The Daily News of Open Water Swimming as it becomes available.
