Water Classic today in Trinidad and Tobago. The swimmers are entering the competition on the heels of the trio taking all the medal positions in the Sawaki Bartica-to-Riversview Open Water last Sunday. In that event, Scott finished first, Simmons second and Alex third. Winter and Scott will have their first attempt at swimming in such an event in sea conditions in the men’s 2,650m event. Soroya who placed third last year in the 2,650m swim, will try the 5k. Last Sunday, in choppy, brackish waters, with a strong current which forced some of the swimmers to actually swim approximately 4 km, Scott ended the 2.5 km race in a time of 57:05.78, Simmons 54:06.74 and Winter 57:05.78. Based on the recent performances, the trio will have strong chance to press for spot on the podium.
