What is Open Water Swimming?
It is a swimming discipline which takes place in outdoor bodies of water such as open oceans, lakes, and rivers. The Indian Ocean and lagoons surrounding Mauritius offer an exhilarating and rewarding swimming experience, offering swimmers the chance to explore and appreciate the beauty of our natural bodies of water while testing their physical and mental capabilities at a competitive level
