The rules

Stages count if swum on or after Jan 1, 2016.
The swimmer completes the series by swimming every stage within 10 years. A stage stays valid for 10 years from the day the swimmer swims it. If the series is not complete by then, the stage expires and the swimmer swims it again; the same race in a later year counts.
A crossing counts if it is solo and ratified by the body for that stretch of water, in either direction.
A race counts with a finish in any edition. It is verified if the finish appears in linked results; otherwise you declare it with proof.
Skin or Wetsuit is the category for each stage. A crossing has the category registered by the governing body; a race has the category from its official results, or Skin if the rules prohibit wetsuits. Where the equipment is not specified, the stage counts as Wetsuit. The swimmer completes the series in Skin only if they have swum all stages in Skin, otherwise in Wetsuit.
Only verified completions enter the leaderboard. Declared stages count for your progress and your medal.
The completion date is that of the last missing stage.
