The Pan-American Colibrí Crossing team includes 12 people from New Zealand, South Africa, Israel, Mexico, and the USA. Among them, they have completed a number of cross-border swims (England-France, Scotland-Northern Ireland, Israel-Jordan, Cyprus-Israel, USA-Canada, Spain-Morocco), swam across many of the world's major channels, and have achieved the Oceans Seven, Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming, and the highest swim in the world during their myriad aquatic acts.

The team is set to make waves as they attempt the 10K swim from Imperial Beach, across the USA-Mexican maritime border in the Pacific Ocean, to Tijuana, Mexico. They will depart from Imperial Beach at 8:30 am, unfurl a banner at the U.S.-Mexico border (in the sea), and aim to arrive on the shores of Playas de Tijuana, Mexico at 12:30 pm, where they expect to be received by Mexican authorities and members of the community.
