If you're swimming upstream in the river, you'd be too busy backstroking - far too busy to worry about whether a company announcement is released.

If it helps, may send an email to the company requesting for a short delay to release any announcement pending ur swim completion - would help you to complete route without worry.

Besides, it's only 600km - it's somewhat shorter than the piece of cake 'practice' run from Brisbane to Noumea - which is approx 1500km. Had you started the swim Friday night, you'd be well on the way.
