    Swimming
    Beginner
    For those who are comfortable in the water and wish to be introduced to swimming. You are able to swim a short distance (approximately 200m) with your head above water or with brief periods of submersion. The goal is to build confidence and learn the basics of breathing and floating during sessions lasting no more than 30 minutes, always in a supervised swimming area close to the edge.
    Intermediate
    For those who have mastered the basics of at least one stroke (breaststroke or front crawl) and can swim continuously for a distance of 500m to 1km in calm water. You swim occasionally. These trips will allow you to improve your technique, breathing, and endurance during sessions lasting up to 45 minutes, while exploring the coastline or the shores of a lake.
    Confirmed
    For those capable of swimming 1.5 km to 2 km non-stop in open water. You have mastered the front crawl—including side breathing—and are comfortable in varied water conditions (light waves, choppy water). You engage in a sporting activity at least once a week. Sessions can last up to 1 hour and 15 minutes and aim to improve your endurance and open-water swimming efficiency.
    Advanced
    For those who can comfortably swim 3 km or more in open water, completing consecutive sessions over several days. You have mastered at least two strokes and open-water techniques (sighting, group swimming). You engage in endurance training several times a week. The routes offered are more challenging, covering significant distances, and may include crossings or explorations of wilder coastlines.
    Expert
    For open-water enthusiasts capable of swimming more than 5 km a day over several consecutive days, sometimes in challenging conditions (wind, moderate currents). You possess excellent swimming technique and a strong understanding of marine or lake environments. You engage in high-intensity endurance training several times a week and are looking for a genuine athletic challenge and an aquatic adventure.
