Hydrospeed or whitewater swimming in Switzerland

You’ll float down the river, using a special float for hydrospeed or white-water swimming. What’s more, if you’re looking for action, this is the activity for you. Indeed, the only condition is that you’re a good swimmer and an athlete. Deux Rivières is the perfect location for this activity in French-speaking Switzerland. On the one hand, the wild Rhône between Souste and Sierre in Valais. The other is the Sarine river in the Pays d’Enhaut in the canton of Vaud. This extreme sport began in France under the name of whitewater swimming 20 years ago.
This activity offers an immersive experience that brings participants down to water level. What’s more, the sensations you experience are much stronger than when rafting. Surf the waves, play with the counters and feel the full power of the rapids.
Enjoy this sport to the full with specific equipment from head to toe.
You wear a neoprene wetsuit, as well as a neoprene jacket, helmet and booties. The float is made of lightweight PVC or polystyrene. Of course, there are different types of float, but the most important thing is that you’re well protected from shocks. And what’s more, you don’t have to take lessons like you do with kayaking. You’ll immediately feel the rapids of a river and the power of the current.
