Official event pageWhat this race demands
SwimParty 10km demands sustained cardiovascular endurance and exceptional sighting ability across a continuous 10-kilometer open water distance.
Continuous Distance
Covering 10 kilometers entirely in open water requires deep muscular and aerobic endurance without the rest intervals typically found in pool swimming.
Open Water Navigation
Swimming along the Algarve coastline between beaches requires consistent bilateral breathing and effective sighting to maintain a straight line in changing coastal conditions.
Thermal Regulation
A September open water swim in Portugal requires adequate preparation for sustained exposure to marine water temperatures over an extended duration.
Given the extended duration of a 10-kilometer swim, athletes should plan to consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour using liquid or gel nutrition suited for open water support.
