The swim across Paris returns for another edition on June 17 and 18, 2023, with the Open Swim Stars race. The program features six sensational open-water events in the Bassin de la Villette and the Canal de l'Ourcq!

The Harmonie MutuelleOpen Swim Stars offers all brave swimmers who wish to do so the chance to swim across Paris, and above all the Bassin de la Villette and the Canal de l'Ourcq, in six open-water events, on June 17 and 18, 2023. Professionals and amateurs alike will be able to compete in the 1km, 2km normal and finned, 5km (idem), 10km, combined or 4×500m relay, in an open water swimming circuit open to the general public.

Cet Open en eau libre, imaginé pour faire revivre l'épreuve de "La Traversée de Paris à la nage", est un événement créé par d’anciens champions de natation qui souhaitent partager leur passion et mettre en avant la pratique de la nage en eau libre dans les villes. It's a way of introducing participants to a sport that's good for your health, and raising their awareness of the environmental issues surrounding water.

Nearly 1,000 swimmers are expected to take part in this year's event, which supports an association's project for the environment and the protection of rivers, seas and oceans. And don't worry, you don't have to be a professional swimmer to take part - anyone can jump into the water!
