Open-water coach and swimmer Samir Barel made his BISA debut in August 2021 on the 37 km crossing from Meros to Abraãozinho. He started around 6:35 am and finished in 9:46:47, the fastest completed time for that route in this archive.

In 2022 he returned for the 25 km from Lopes Mendes to Cazuza, the third stage of a charity project to swim 100 km in four days for children unable to afford medical care. His time was 6:59:07. In April 2025 he completed the 16 km in 4:32:36.

Samir also coached Carla Fontes on her 16, 25 and 37 km crossings and supported Alessandra Cima with hydration and pace swimming on her crossing to Cajaíba.
