Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 10-kilometer open water swimming event requires exceptional endurance and sustained cardiovascular output to complete the distance.
Distance endurance
Covering 10 kilometers entirely by swimming demands a high level of aerobic conditioning, stroke efficiency, and mental focus over an extended duration.
Open water navigation
Racing in an open water environment like a fishing port requires continuous sighting and adaptability to changing marine conditions.
Given the extended duration of a 10-kilometer open water swim, athletes should plan to consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour through liquid nutrition or approved feeding protocols during the event.
