Organised by Swim Maldives, the event aims to promote open water swimming, encourage greater participation in the sport and raise awareness of the importance of protecting the Maldives’ marine environment.

Participants can register for the 1km, 500m and 250m race categories. This year’s competition will also introduce a new 500m Team Relay, providing an exciting opportunity for friends, families and swimming clubs to compete together.

With the registration deadline fast approaching, interested participants are encouraged to sign up early and avoid missing the opportunity to take part in one of the most anticipated swimming events of the year.

Last year, the competition attracted 350 swimmers from across the Maldives, with more than 340 participants successfully completing their races. Participants ranged from 6 to 65 years, reflecting the inclusive nature of the event and the growing popularity of open water swimming nationwide.

Dhiraagu remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote healthy lifestyles, strengthen community engagement and create meaningful opportunities for people across the Maldives to participate in sports and recreational activities.
