Ferry Weertman of The Netherlands was crowned Swimming World’s Male Open Water Swimmer of the Year after his performance in the men’s 10k marathon swim at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Weertman found the turbulent alternative to the pool after missing out on the 2009 European Junior Championships in the 800 meter freestyle. The then 17-year-old was told his time in the 800 was fast enough for pre-qualification in the open water department and so he made the transition from pool swimming to open water swimming.
