28-year-old Swiss ultra-endurance athlete, entrepreneur and content creator, Noam Yaron is once again attempting the world’s longest swim in aid of nature this August. More prepared than ever, the Swiss is tackling the journey from Calvi in Corsica to Monaco, accompanied by meteorologists equipped with Adrena Pro software, to optimise his route and maximise his chances of success.
Faced with unfavourable conditions and adverse sea currents last year, Noam Yaron is not one to give up. Determined, he is attempting the world record again, determined to achieve his feat. ‘I want to get that record!’ he says.
Adrena, a plus against the unexpected
Since 2003, Adrena has been designing solutions to predict the best routes, maximise speed and ensure safety at sea. Thanks to this technology, the eco-adventurer can hope to make his dream come true, a record that seems more accessible than ever. “In a crossing like this, it’s all about the right moment, the right course,” analyses Noam. “Adrena helps me to read the sea accurately and make the decisions that make the difference.”
A sporting and ecological objective
The sporting objective is to cover the 180 km between Calvi and Monaco in less than 120 hours (5 days and 5 nights) without getting out of the water. The goal of this sporting adventure is also to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving our waters and protecting the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea and the ocean. In this respect, Noam Yaron is calling on France to create, by 2030, marine zones where all industrial activity is prohibited, covering at least 10% of French waters, as recommended by the European Union. He is also encouraging the 3 countries that govern the Pelagos Sanctuary to set a speed limit of 10 knots in the area, in order to limit the risk of collision with marine fauna, the main cause of unnatural cetacean mortality in the area. For Noam, “the countdown is on. It’s now or never!”
