2026 Team Launch: TEAM 8 – USA

Introducing TEAM 8 – USA

A team built on experience, strategy, and a shared drive to push beyond limits enters the One Water Race lineup. Bringing together athletes from the United States and Sweden, they combine battle-tested race experience with fresh energy and a hunger to prove what they are capable of.
 
With multiple strong swimmers, a tactically sharp mindset, and previous One Water Race experience already within the team, they are prepared to handle both the physical demands and the strategic challenges of the archipelago. Known for their ability to solve problems in real time and support each other through the toughest phases of a race, they aim to operate as one cohesive unit from start to finish.
 
Driven by the ambition to stay close to the front of the race and push through the decisive final stages, their focus is clear:
 
Stay together. Stay sharp. Reach Landsort.
 
Racers: Kawika Tarayao, Mara Tynan, Jonas Andersson
