Groan. I'd be quiet if I were you. Open Water Swimming is only sort-of an event.

How is it only sort of? . Iv got a friend who got a medal in the last olympics for it. However, I dont know anyone in the history of the world that has an olympic medal for 800m butterfly

Lifesaving is a right answer. All that link says is that people who do Fin Swimming often do so as a part of Lifesaving. You don't get to have horse riding just cos it's in with Modern Pentathalon, that features a water event.

With that brilliant and fool-proof argument, denied.

Dont make me find proof please... You know Im right
