What this race demands
This 10 km open-water swim demands exceptional sustained aerobic endurance and mental resilience over an extended duration in the Mediterranean.
Aerobic endurance
Covering a 10 km distance requires continuous swimming capacity and a well-developed aerobic engine to sustain output for hours.

An open-water setting in the Mediterranean requires consistent sighting proficiency and efficient pacing without lane lines.
A 10 km open-water swim will exceed two and a half hours for most participants, requiring strategic carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour via liquid or gel supplementation during designated feed opportunities.
