Frequently asked
What is open water swimming?
Open water swimming is competitive or recreational swimming in lakes, rivers, seas and other natural bodies of water — distinct from pool swimming.
Do I need a wetsuit?
It depends on each race's rules and the water temperature. Each Ripple race page lists the wetsuit policy and expected water temperature.
What distances are available?
European open-water events range from short 1–2km swims for beginners to 5km, 10km Olympic-distance, and ultra 25km+ marathon swims.
When is open water swimming season in Europe?
The main European open-water season runs from May to September, with a few cold-water and ice-swimming events in winter months.
