Speed progression records are shown here

*Albert completed a solo swim in 1980 to his home in Naples (34.6 km) and is included.  Linda swam in 1968 and is on the Capri-Napoli association's website as "not classified".   She completed the swim but her observer was so unwell he could not verify.  Christopher Green swam a solo but his pilot was unable to enter Naples Harbor - so swim was about 4 km short and hence not listed.  The official swims in 1981 and 2017 were shorter courses and hence swimmers not listed above.

 

Honorees who helped greatly with the creation of the organization, administration, reporting, coaching or piloting of these swims are listed below.  The list of all helpers is extensive but Honorees who completed the swims and non-Honorees are not listed. 

Lello Barbuto and Luciano Cotena
