From Dream to Reality: Welcome to OCEANMAN Magazine Since the inception of OCEANMAN, I've always wanted to show that it’s about more than just swimming in open water; there is much more behind it. Now, in this first issue of OCEANMAN Magazine, I’d like to share a bit more about why I created this project. I've always seen the world as both vast and small, dreaming of exploring it and experiencing as many cultures as possible. I believe that those who know more are better able to respect and coexist with others. This is why OCEANMAN couldn’t just be a swimming event; it had to be a space to discover the world through swimming—a place for connection where swimmers from all corners of the globe could first connect with each other and then learn about and integrate into the culture and traditions of the host country. A few years have passed since our first event in Palamós, Spain, in 2016, and we can now say that the community is a reality. A large OCEANMAN family has been created, and we are constantly adding more initiatives and projects to facilitate these connections One of these projects is this very magazine you are holding. We started planning it some time ago, and now it is finally here. Each month, you will be able to receive in your inbox, or download, issues that include narratives from a swimmer’s perspective, explanations of cultures and destinations to discover, and interesting articles about swimmers or techniques. Just as we designed OCEANMAN as the kind of event we would love to participate in and chose destinations because we are truly passionate about them, we have written this magazine in the way we dream open-water swimming magazines should be. And just as OCEANMAN is an open project for everyone, this magazine is also open to you. Collaborations and contributions are always welcome. I hope to see you soon at any destination, swimming and at the finish line. Sincerely, Fermin Egido Alonso CEO, OCEANMAN

OCEANMAN Kyiv - A symbol of resilience in the midst of war The spirit of resilience and determination was on full display this past weekend in Kyiv, as over a thousand swimmers took to the waters of the Dnieper River for OCEANMAN Ukraine competition. This event marks the only international mass sporting event still taking place in Ukraine since the onset of the war. "Ukraine has been traditionally the community that has brought the most swimmers to OCEANMAN," said Fermin Egido Alonso CEO of OCEANMAN to Agencia EFE during the event. "Our support has been unwavering," he continued, standing on the artificial beach by the Dnieper, watching the swimmers dive into the 10-kilometer race. The return of OCEANMAN to Ukraine in 2023, after a year of absence due to the Russian invasion, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Ukrainian people. "This has led us to be the only international company conducting sporting events within Ukrainian territory since the war began". A Symbol of Resistance "Being able to continue living and participating in these championships despite the war is a symbol of resistance," said Verónica Pershina, a Spanish academy owner and one of the Ukrainian swimmers who competed in the 10-kilometer race. Before the race began, participants sang the Ukrainian national anthem while a young woman waved the national flag—a flag that OCEANMAN team carry around the world for participants to write messages of support for Ukrainian swimmers. A beacon of hope OCEANMAN Kyiv event stands as a powerful symbol of resilience, unity, and hope. It is a reminder that even in the darkest times, the spirit of sport and the determination to pursue one's passion can bring light and solidarity. We are incredibly proud to support and stand with our Ukrainian swimmers and community. Together, we continue to swim towards a brighter future. You can read the full article here:
