Comments: "This is probably the best mass participation long distance event (+21 km) I have ever been to. The course is clear with numbered buoys clearly visible, and there is a doctor at the feed station who actually checks that I'm well. The cut off time of 10h30 is also generous enough to allow a wide range of swimmers to complete the race."
