Welcome to the Traversée Internationale du Lac Léman à la nage (Lausanne – Evian).

The LGSA Classique is an adventure swim that has grown rapidly in size since its inception. Once a regular fixture on the FINA world cup circuit, this is the definitive open water swimming border buster between Switzerland and France.

Swimmers complete the full crossing of the lake (13km as the crow flies) in separate starts according to their average kilometre pace to give everyone the best swim possible.

The LGSA Classique is not a race and welcomes swimmers with or without wetsuits.

ENTRY INCLUDES

– One-way ferry transport between Evian – Lausanne (or vice versa).

– Professional water safety team to support the swim.

– Feed stations along the route providing an assortment of energy drinks, gels or bars.

– LGSA Classique event swim hat.

THE ROUTE
