When navigating through open waters, which involves currents, waves, or other coastal phenomena, there will be members of the Red Cross and GEAS (Group of Specialists in Underwater Activities of the Civil Guard).

The minimum swimming speed is 3 km/h, and to control it there will be different control points along the entire route. Anyone who does not pass these points will be disqualified and will have to board the organization’s boat.
