There were many of us spread across all categories, and that alone was a pleasure. I registered for the 1500 meters and only then learned that the rule was to finish within one hour, swimming at the beautiful Creiro beach. \u201cOops, I probably won\u2019t make it,\u201d I thought. My pool pace would mean about 45 minutes, but in the sea there are many uncertainties (currents, water getting into the goggles, losing sight of the buoys\u2026). There were 316 athletes in the 1500-meter event. I was the last one to enter the water. Calmly, I thought, \u201cwhatever happens, happens.\u201d I started swimming at my own pace and managed to keep it steady throughout the race, never stopping. The rhythm of my strokes and breathing was synchronized, in tune with the sea and its waves\u2014perfect harmony with that universe. I was loving every moment of swimming in that cold sea, and the buoys came one by one, without much drifting off course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/clube-swim4fun.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-691x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clube-swim4fun.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-691x1024.png 691w, https:\/\/clube-swim4fun.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-202x300.png 202w, https:\/\/clube-swim4fun.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-8x12.png 8w, https:\/\/clube-swim4fun.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1.png 759w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Me arriving, super happy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I reached the finish line second to last, in 46 minutes, with an average pace of 3.05 minutes. I was as happy as if I had won. By the end of the day, I was still in a state of grace. 314 people swam faster (the champion finished in 20 minutes). I just hope they were as happy as I was. Everything is always so relative, and that\u2019s such a great lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sofia Guedes<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 28 mar\u00e7o de 2026 participei na Set\u00fabal Open Water Race na equipa da Swim4fun. \u00c9ramos muitos distribu\u00eddos por todas as categorias, s\u00f3 isso j\u00e1 foi um prazer.
