Open water swimming will (re)debut at the 2008 Olympics. The Journal has an article on the event plus a look at the history. Apparently more people have summited Everest than have swum the English Channel.
The open water race in the Olympics is a 10k swim. The longest I have done is 2 miles, and that took some 50 plus minutes. Maybe I should think about longer swims.
Story here at the Wall Street Journal.
