Abstract

Introduction: Open water swimming has gained popularity due to its accessibility, variety of distances, and connection with nature, attracting participants of different ages and fitness levels. However, this modality presents specific challenges, such as environmental risks and physical demands, making it essential to adopt safety measures and appropriate training to ensure athletes' performance and well-being. Objective: To outline the profile of open water swimming participants during the years 2023 and 2024 in the southeastern region of Brazil. Methods: A total of 16,533 data points were recorded in a spreadsheet for descriptive and quantitative analysis. Results and conclusion: The results indicate a predominance of male participants, aged between 30 and 54 years, affiliated with sports training groups, and favoring shorter race distances, such as 1 km. Additionally, low participation in multiple races within the same event was observed, as well as a low retention rate of swimmers in subsequent editions of the same events. Understanding the profile of open water swimming participants is essential for the success of the event and for ensuring high-quality customer service.
