Marine Conservation
Tahiti Swimming Experience is committed to minimizing the impact of its organization on the environment. By adopting responsible behavior and by raising the awareness of the general public, swimmers can help to preserve the marine environment more sustainably. The TSE is involved with two associations: Moorea Coral Garderners and Nana Sac Plastique to sustainably preserve coral gardens in French Polynesia. Swimmers can adopt a coral and participate in the cuttings workshop in the lagoon of Temae in order to participate in the largest chain of safeguarding Tahiti's coral.
2018 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year Nomination
The Tahiti Swimming Experience was nominated for the 2018 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year by the World Open Water Swimming Association:
Stéphane Debaere’s roots are in Tahiti, where he created in collaboration with the Tahitian Swimming Federation, the Tahiti Swimming Experience, of which he is the godfather. The 7-day ocean swimming event combines various short relay swims with 2 km, 2.5 km, 5 km and 10 km coastal swim in both Tahiti and Mo'orea in French Polynesia. Local beginner swimmers, renowned Olympic medalists and veteran world champions join together to enjoy a number of different ocean courses in Tahiti's water that is literally a living aquarium. Olympic coaches including Philippe Lucas and Stéphane Lecat lend their expertise over a week in Tahiti and Mo'orea where cultural events and marine conservation projects are also available when swimming races are not held. For introducing a world-class open water extravaganza to the South Pacific islands of Tahiti and Mo'orea, for offering one of the world's most gorgeous ocean swims in warm, tropical waters, for enabling swimmers to preserve coral gardens by adopting a coral and participate in safeguarding Tahiti's coral, the Tahiti Swimming Experience by Stéphane Debaere & Tahitian Swimming Federation is a worthy nominee for the 2018 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year.
