No need to reply, we’re told in the earbud that you have a date with Cassis 📍, on the Grande Mer Beach, for a special challenge! 🌊 We’re waiting for you for a swimming circuit in open water, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea! 🤓

The Open Swim Harmonie Mutuelle falls under Eco-health, a movement started by Harmonie Mutuelle that invites everyone to adopt more responsible behaviors and to take preventive actions beneficial for health.

The Open Swim Harmonie Mutuelle Cassis Cap Naoï, yes it’s long but it’s mainly to note in your calendar 📔. For this big day, they didn’t do things halfway—have you seen where your base camp is? On the largest beach in the city center, which, by the way, has water more than turquoise ! 🩵 With this view, you’ll start your vacation early, that’s for sure! 🧳

A little culture bite, always good. We have two things to tell you today 📚. One, the Open Swim is the 1st open-water swim circuit for the general public in France 🇫🇷. It encourages regular physical activity, but not only 🤠. Two, the open water swimming is excellent for your physical and mental health. It engages all muscles gently, with no impact on joints. It improves endurance, strengthens the cardio-respiratory system, improves blood circulation. Training in a natural environment soothes, reduces stress. Your sleep is improved 😴. Yes, that’s a lot, so in the end it's worth jumping in the water ! 🤿

For this day, you can choose among 4 different distances. For early risers, lace up your fins and your mask, the day starts with a 10 km 🏊‍♀️. Speaking of fins, for each distance you can choose to participate with or without 🙃. If you’d rather set a different challenge, you can take part in a 5 km, a 3.5 km, a 1 km or a 500 m ⭐️. We know doing a challenge like that with friends has its perks! 🍀 Laughter, teamwork, challenge, motivation… Enough to want to sign up for a 4 x 500 m relay 😉. Open water swimming is an experience that few people do, yet the benefits are right here ✨. You can be at the heart of a biodiversity rare to discover the vastness of our ecosystem. All of it accessible to everyone: no matter your age, abilities, experiences... 🎬

You quickly realize there are only good reasons for this event! All that’s missing is you, to add an extra perk to the list 😇.
