Aboutthe swim

The GSS North American Championships has found a new home in Mont Tremblant, Canada! You won’t want to miss this weekend of open water swimming in this world-renowned vacation destination!

Known for it’s skiing and natural beauty, this spectacular ski village sits an hour and a half from Montreal and less than 2 hours from Ottawa.

The weekend offers 4 exciting distances: the Desjardins 1km, the 3km , 5km, and the Canada UltraSwim 12km

The Canada UltraSwim 12km is challenging and exhilarating, it is you and Mother Nature at the edge of almost impossible. It’s an epic adventure. It’s the swim of a lifetime. The Tremblant lake is 12 km long and the swimmers will cover its entire length. The athletes will be brought by boat to the starting point at the end of the lake, a nice remote zone, and along the travel they will be able to admire the beautiful mountains and an exceptional nature. During the competition, each swimmer will be accompanied by a kayaker who will ensure their safety. We have deployed a team that will ensure the supervision and safety of all participants.

The Village de la Traversée will be the welcoming and gathering place for athletes, spectators and exhibitors. The event is an adventure for the whole family since it is happening at Tremblant, the four-season vacation destination in the heart of the Laurentians, a resort internationally recognized for its accommodations, restaurants, lively all year events and providing all the services needed.

Located within driving distance of major cities in Canada and the US, as well as having an airport 45 minutes, makes this destination race accessible to all.
