The Marina Riviera Nayarit at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle will host the second edition of the Aguas Abiertas competition, a NadoSeguro Riviera Nayarit event, on April 21 beginning at 8:00 am.
The NadoSeguro project arose in 1998 as part of a program to teach swimming to children. In 2007, the "Swim safe" program was initiated.
The Aguas Abierta event will include 300 swimmers from all categories who will participate in competitions of up to 5 km.
The categories will include children between 7 and 10 years old, competitors from 11 to 12 years who will swim 1.250 km, between 13 and 14 years of age who will swim 2.5 km, and amateurs from 15 years and older who will be required to complete 3.75 km in under 2 hours.
A professional course of 5 km with a time limit of 1 hour 20 minutes will be the premiere event of this competition, which in 2011 was dominated by Manuel Chiu Guadalajara, with a time of 1:04:28, and Andrea Gutierrez, who completed the course in 1:12:13.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) of Riviera Nayarit and NadoSeguro are to be commended for contributing to the promotion of this tourist sporting event that attracts the attention of athletes, their families and media.
The Riviera Nayarit CVB has put these events and conventions as a priority for promoting the destination of Riviera Nayarit and specifically the Marina La Cruz, as the realization of these promotions contributes to the direct employment in hotels, restaurants and multiple vocation supported by the tourism within the region which helps to achieve the goals set by the State Government headed by Roberto Sandoval, for attracting tourism to benefit the people of Nayarit.
Registration is open until April 20 and the entrance fee will be 500 pesos.
