Safety & Security
The safety of all participants is our highest priority.
The course will be fully supported by a dedicated water safety team, including safety boats and kayaks positioned along the route. Three floating refreshment stations, located every 2.5 km, will provide swimmers with water, nutrition, and the opportunity to refuel before continuing their crossing in the best possible conditions.
Participants must be at least 18 years of age, be confident swimming in open water, and have the appropriate level of training and preparation for the distance they have chosen.
