Argentina claimed double home gold at the International Swimming Federation UltraMarathon Swim Series leg in Rosario.

Ivo Cassini clinched the men's title after negotiating the 15 kilometres course.

It ended up being a 1-2-3 for the host nation as Guillermo Bertola touched home for silver and Joaquin Moreno took the bronze medal.

Cecilia Biagioli was the winner in the women's competition.

The hosts did not get it all their own way this time as Barbara Pozzobon of Italy, winner of the opening leg of the season in Santa Fe in Argentina earlier this month, came second.

After the two stops in Argentina to begin the season, the campaign is now not due to continue until July 27.
