The Emmax Open Water Swim swam its fourteenth edition on Saturday 29 August in Playa Honda. The organisers closed entries with more than 240 swimmers and ten nationalities. It is organised by B15 Active, and the race is the third of the five stages of the Lanzarote Open Water Swimming Cup.
The long distance opened the morning: 4 kilometres from the Islote de la Fermina, in Arrecife, to the Playa del Curita, so you swim from one municipality to another across open water.
The 4 kilometres, without a wetsuit
This is the classification that scores for the Canary Islands Open Water Cup, and it was won by Unai Cocera Cordón in 54:24.
| Pos. | Swimmer | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unai Cocera Cordón | 54:24 |
| 2 | Daniel Lechuga Lago | 56:18 |
| 3 | Althay González Ferrera | 57:55 |
In the women’s race Sheila Pulido Mayor won with 58:46, with Marta Armas Roca nineteen seconds behind.

| 2 | Marta Armas Roca | 59:05 |
| 3 | Sandra Nieves Medina | 1:04:03 |
Nineteen seconds of difference after four kilometres of open water is nothing: on the beach it was settled in plain sight.
The 4 kilometres, with a wetsuit
The wetsuit category is ranked separately. It was won by Raúl Fernández Ruiz, with 55:45, and Silvia Gopar Bonilla, with 1:03:31.
Fernández’s time is faster than that of the runner-up without a wetsuit, although they do not compete in the same table: the suit helps you float and the circuit regulations separate them precisely for that reason.
The 1.2 kilometres
The middle distance is the one that scores for the Lanzarote Open Water Cup.
| Pos. | Men | Time | Women | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Besay Delgado Hernández | 17:59 | Natalia Emilia Sasu Bodarnea | 18:53 |
| 2 | Nicolás Padrón Miguelez | 18:07 | Catalina Rodríguez Regueira | 19:17 |
| 3 | Knut Anderssen Miranda | 18:09 | Lily Gopar Cordoves | 19:58 |
Ten seconds separated the first three men.
And the name at the top right repeats: Natalia Emilia Sasu also won the 1,200 metres of the San Ginés Swim seven days earlier. Two open water races on two consecutive weekends, both of them won.
The distances for the youngest
In the junior 800 metres the winners were Lois Chantada Manso, with 17:05, and Nahia Escudero García, with 17:14.
In the children’s 400 metres, Alexander Delgado Hernández with 8:59 and Laia Inés López Celaye with 10:22.
The 3x200 metre relay went to the Los Delgasasu team in 7:37, ahead of Los Suris (8:09) and Cloros Apiens (8:11).
What is left of the circuit
With the Emmax swum, two stages of the island Cup remain. The next one is the El Río Open Water Swim, the 2.6 kilometres between Lanzarote and La Graciosa, on 19 September and with entries closed for weeks.
To make the Cup standings you need to swim at least three of the five races, so this was the last chance to add a third one for anybody starting from zero.
The full results by category are published by the organisers on Tripasión Eventos.
