MEET
The 12 km Ultraswim is the ultimate experience ‒ total immersion!
Demanding yet exalting, this open-water swim distance presents a sizable challenge.
Lac Tremblant spans 12 km and swimmers must cover its entire distance. Athletes are transported by boat to the departure point at the northern tip of the lake ‒ an extremely picturesque, remote area. During the meet, they are immersed in the natural beauty of the Laurentian region.
To ensure personal safety during the race, swimmers must be accompanied by their own kayaker. As well, a second team is deployed to oversee the general safety and security of all participants.
