15 June 2025
A unique setting will once again be the backdrop to the 5th edition of the Venice Open Water - Nuadalonga - Memorial Lucia Monti.
Swimming event that will be held on June 15, 2024 in the waters in front of the Bluemoon.
A sports event that has now entered the heart of the island, it represents the highlight of the Lido sports summer.
The creator of the event is Gugliemo Serafini assisted by swimmers Riccardo Puggiotto, former world champion Fabrizio Pescatori, Stefano Distefano, Tobia Badoer, Stefano Rossi, a forerunner of Triathlon in Italy, and Guido Rizzo, a triathlete and president of Triathlon Venezia.
Thanks to the patronage of the Municipality of Venice and above all to the synergy between Venezia Triathlon, organizer of the race, the Proloco del Lido e Pellestrina led by Barbara Pitteri, the consortium Venezia e il suo Lido and Venezia Spiagge represented by the president Pierluigi Padoan, it was possible to create a sporting event that brought to the Lido in the two previous editions each with about 800 people, including athletes of national and international fame and companions.
The swimming races will take place throughout the day. The first race will be the 800-meter sprint swim, the second the nautical mile 1850 meters, the third 3.5km. There will also be a ranking for the combined, given by the sum of the times of the mile race and the 3.5km.
The races will take place in the body of water of Venezia Spiagge, specifically starting and finishing at the Blue Moon and will have a rectangular course to be repeated based on the distance of the race.
Numerous local sponsors will support the event also through their handicrafts and Murano glass products that will be made as prizes for the winners for the final party at the end of the event on the Blue Moon terrace.
The race course will be monitored for the entire event by the State Police jet skis and the Coast Guard's nautical vessels.
We hope that a sporting event like ours can act as a driving force for a new spirit of rebirth on the island.
The hotel is located less than five minutes by walk from the public water transportation service, with uninterrupted runs, both day and night, connecting the Lido to Venice St. Mark's Square.
The 42 rooms of Hotel Rigel in Venice Lido are unique for the choice of furnishings and the atmosphere that pervades them.
Each one is always inspired by different and fascinating themes linked to a historical period, to places in the world or to some famous person.
