Official event pageWhat this race demands
Global Ocean Sagres demands sustained open-water pacing and strong sighting capabilities over a 2 km distance in the Atlantic off the Algarve coast.
Open-water swimming
The 2,000m distance requires continuous freestyle efficiency without the rest intervals of a pool environment, testing both aerobic capacity and stroke technique.
Sighting and navigation
Competing in an ocean setting at Praia da Mareta demands consistent sighting to maintain a straight line over the 2 km course without lane lines.
