Open-water swimming in Spain

Overview

Open-water swimming activities in Spain include scheduled competitive events and various notable locations for practitioners.

In August, competitions include the 85th Travesia a Nado Puerto de Motril, featuring races for adults and younger swimmers in the Motril port basin, and the sixth Travesia a Nado Ciudad de Marbella at Playa de El Cable. The Marbella event offers multiple distances, including a 100-metre category for athletes with disabilities, though wetsuits are prohibited for that specific competition.

Other significant locations for the sport include La Concha in San Sebastián, known for its warm waters and 1,350-metre bay, and Sa Tuna in Begur. For general practice, swimmers are advised to use wetsuits to assist with buoyancy, temperature, and protection.
