The 41k Swim Marathon was won this year by Rafael Perez, from Sanra Fe, Argentina in a time of 11 hours 21 minutes. This was 9 hours faster than the only other time the event was held 80 years earlier. 10 swimmers competed in the Marathon between Lake George Village and Hague in the waters of Lake George. During the middle of the race 20 mph headwinds proved to be a major obstacle to the swimmers. After 12 hours of continuous swimming the race was stopped because of rapidly approaching darkness and prize money was awarded based on position of the swimmers at the time. Dori Miller placed first among the women.
