This year, four continents were represented, America, Africa, Europe, Asia for this unique competition in finswimming. “Unique” both for the organizers and the swimmers. This competition has a completely particular environment in this small swimming pool of 25M but makes it possible to the swimmers to be found at one period of the year, far from the great international expiries and thus in an excellent environment.
