Athletes participate in three distances including 1,000 m, 2,500 m and 5,000 m. The competition is individual freestyle swimming for men and women. Contestants are aged 14 to 69, divided into many groups to ensure fitness and fairness.
In short and medium distances, the organizers divide the age groups in detail for each male and female event. For the 5,000 m distance, the age group is expanded, requiring high endurance and competition experience. Athletes must adapt to open sea conditions, waves and currents, creating the characteristic challenge of sea swimming.
