This year we’re celebrating the 9th edition of the Traversée, a friendly open-water race organized by the AUBP, which will take place on Sunday August 31, 2025.
As in previous years, the maximum number of swimmers is limited to 1,200, who will set off in four groups of 300 between 8.00 and 8.45 am.
The start will be from the Genève-Plage beach at 8.00 am, with the finish on the Bains des Pâquis beach. The swim distance is approximately 1800 metres.
Registration will take place on Wednesday, May 7 from 10:00 am on the La Traversée website.
To take part in the race, you must wear a souvenir cap, which will be handed over in exchange for a copy of your confirmation e-mail, on Thursday August 28, 2025 between 5.00 pm and 7.30 pm or on Saturday August 30, 2025 between 10.00 am and 1.30 pm, in front of the entrance to the Bains des Pâquis or, in case of rain, inside the Bains des Pâquis. On Sunday morning, the day of the race, there won’t be much time and the presentation of caps can only be exceptional.
There is no ranking, the principle being that of a friendly race where everyone is a winner, but a clock will be activated at the finish at the Bains des Pâquis to enable participants to keep track of their time.
Please note that the deadline for registration is midnight on Friday August 1, 2025.
