No less than 10 Swiss Masters Swimmers travelled to Istanbul to take part in the Turkish Olympic Committee’s (TOC) traditional Samsung Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race on 26th July. With a record number of competitors (1870) from 49 countries competing in this 6.5KM race from the Asian to the European side of Istanbul, our swimmers emerged with great times and a clutch of medals.
