What is the "swimrun" ?

 The "swimrun" is an outdoor sport that comes from Sweden. It combines swimming in open water and trail running. Unlike triathlon, it is practiced in pairs and is not limited to a single sequence of disciplines. Indeed, you have to run, swim, re-run, re-swim and so on ... No question of changing equipment, the "swimrunners" swim with their sneakers and run in combination.

 The swimrun, even though it is becoming more and more popular, is considered an extreme sport. Indeed, the world championship consists of 10 km swimming and 65 km running through the Stockholm Archipelago. The weather conditions are not often mild. The "Ötillö" (meaning "island hopping" in Swedish) is considered one of the most difficult races in the world. Few athletes have the opportunity to participate because the conditions are strict: it must be ranked among the best in a qualifying round (World Series).
