The port of Cartagena will be the stage next Saturday September 9 of the XXVI Travesía to swim Puerto de Cartagena organized by the Department of Sports of the City of Cartagena, Agrupación Deportiva Áncora, Federation of Swimming Region of Murcia, Federation of Celebrations of Carthaginians and Romans.
More than 200 swimmers will compete in this scoring event for the Open Water Regional Circuit, which has the peculiarity of being held inside a port, when this type of test usually starts at the beach.
Two courses have been established for this test, one for the categories prebenjamín, benjamín and fry, that will have a distance of 600 meters;
and another, for swimmers of category Infant onwards, that will cover a distance of 1,700 meters.
It should be noted, as a novelty in this edition, that it has increased the route in 100 meters due to the recently completed renovation at the cruise ship dock.
The test for the little ones will leave at 10:30 am on Saturday morning, while the swimmers of the other categories will leave at 11:30 am.
There will be 3 prizes for each of the 22 categories that have been set (11 men and 11 women), as well as trophy for the absolute winners in men's and women's categories and the youngest and oldest veteran.
The time control will be done through electronic timing.
In the test, swimmers from other parts of Spain will compete, in addition to all parts of the Region, who are approaching this test in addition to the competitive interest for the spectacular scenario in which it is developed.
The vice president of the Swimming Federation of the Region and European Champion in Open Water, Margarita Domínguez, also explained the peculiarity of this crossing "that you can follow along the dock and see the whole course", which is not possible to do in other competitions in open water, an incentive for fans of the sport of Cartagena to attend to witness the test.
