Between any 2 subjects...one male and one female....given both are in equally good condition and good swimmers.....women tend to have an advantage due to naturally higher body fat, and the distribution of that fat (according to the below reference).

Basically, it provides more buoyancy and (in cold water conditions) better insulation.

The better buoyancy allows more energy to be dedicated to forward propulsion, rather than simply staying afloat.

In sum, women are simply "built" for distance swimming.
