The Surigao-born triathlete and the other swimmers aimed to do a marathon swim for a distance of at least 10 kilometers. This was not the first time Macarine’s swim had to be stopped. In August 2017, Macarine’s second attempt to cross the English Channel was also aborted due to rough weather conditions.
“We had to shorten the swim from the planned 10-kilometer because of bad weather conditions,” Macarine said.
