Whether you are an experienced long-distance athlete or looking for your first open water competition experience, you can choose the training date that best suits your needs. However, please check the specific distance for each date (ranging from 1.9km to 7km) to ensure it matches your current fitness level.

This session is dedicated to familiarizing yourself with the official SwimGP course. We use the exact same buoys that will be used during the actual race, allowing you to practice sighting, navigation, and turning points under realistic race-day conditions.
While we may provide fueling during some sessions, we highly recommend bringing your own gels or hydration that you plan to use on race day. This is the perfect time to test what works for your stomach under stress.
A wetsuit and a safety buoy (tow-float) are mandatory for all official training sessions due to the distances covered and safety protocols. Don't forget your goggles and a bright-colored swim cap.
