Fueled Sports Ltd & the Mauritius Swimming Federation is thrilled to announce the first Nando’s Mauritius Swimming Federation (MSF) Open Water Swim event, taking place on 10th December 2023 at the beautiful Mont Choisy Beach. The team is delighted to be hosting the Africa Aquatics Junior Open Water Swimming Championships in Mauritius with the race taking place at Mont Choisy. This competition is more than a race; it’s an avenue for sportsmen to refine their strategies under race conditions, while allowing social swimmers to experience a fun-filled morning of swimming on a race circuit. The event also acts as a stepping stone for those aiming for international competitions and qualifications.

The format for the Open Water Swim races at Mont Choisy:

• 75m Kids Fun Swim
• 1Km
• 1Km (assisted/with equipment)
• 3Km
• 3Km (assisted/with equipment)
• 5Km
• 5Km (assisted/with equipment)

The racecourse is designed in a triangular configuration spanning approximately 1km. Competitors participating in the 1km race will complete one loop of the course, while those in the 3km race will do three loops, and 5km participants will navigate the course five times. Swimmers are responsible for keeping track of their completed loops.

During the race, participants must ensure they pass marker buoys with them on their left. Upon completing the required loops, competitors should head straight to the finish line, which is located in the water. Please wear the timing chip on your left arm. As you approach the finish, raise your left arm and place it on the finish bar to ensure the chip records your time accurately.

To compete, participants must wear both the provided swimming cap and the timing chip found in the race pack. Failure to complete the necessary laps or adhere to these guidelines will result in disqualification
