    Levels

    Beginner
    For those wishing to discover triathlon. You swim occasionally (with a good grasp of the breaststroke), run short distances (around 5 km), and cycle at a leisurely pace without focusing on performance (around 30 km). The courses are flat and easy to ride, and the swim takes place in a pool or a very calm area. You are capable of moderate physical activity for 2 to 3 hours a day, with a focus on learning.
    Intermediate
    For those who already train regularly and wish to improve within a more structured framework. You are capable of running 7 to 12 km per session, swimming 1 to 1.5 km (freestyle), and cycling approximately 50 to 70 km with moderate elevation gain (up to 500 m). Cycling routes may include some longer climbs and fast descents. You are in good physical condition and can sustain 3 to 4 hours of activity per day at moderate intensity, including initial pace-specific intervals.
    Confirmed
    For those who train with greater intensity and have already mastered the technical fundamentals of triathlon. You are able to run 9–15 km per session, swim 1.5–2 km in varied conditions, and cycle 70–90 km with significant elevation gain (around 1,000 m). Cycling sessions include prolonged climbs and technical descents. You are capable of sustaining 3–4 hours of daily effort, handling more intense sessions and effectively managing your endurance.
    Advanced
    For those who train very regularly and have solid experience in all three disciplines. You are capable of running 10 to 20 km per session, swimming between 2.5 and 3.5 km (sometimes in the open sea or challenging conditions), and cycling 90 to 120 km with significant elevation gain (up to 1,500 m). The routes feature mountain passes, long climbs, and require multi-session endurance. You are in excellent physical condition and can sustain 5.5 to 7 hours of exertion per day, while remaining self-sufficient during the activity.
    Expert
    For those seeking a highly demanding, advanced training camp. You maintain a high weekly training volume (15–25 hours) and are capable of stringing together long sessions. You can run over 20 km per workout, swim more than 5 km in open water requiring advanced navigation skills, and cycle 120–160 km with significant elevation gain (2,000 m or more). The routes are mountainous, technical, and intense. You are capable of sustaining 7 to 9 hours of daily exertion, demonstrating extreme endurance and effective nutrition management.
