About this race
The Sra. D’Agonia International Meeting is an open-water swimming event in Viana do Castelo, on Portugal’s Atlantic coast, held in September. The main race is a 4000m official Circuit swim for athletes aged 14 and over, with a 1 hour 45 minute time limit. The programme also includes a 2000m Masters Circuit race, plus 2000m and 500m promotional swims for a broader field.
The races are run under Portuguese Swimming Federation rules and World Aquatics open-water regulations, so details such as wetsuit use depend on the official water temperature reading. The meeting is part of Portugal’s National Open Water Circuit, contributes to national ranking standings, and uses Multicrono for registration and electronic timing. It draws FPN-affiliated elite open-water swimmers, Masters swimmers, teams, and international entrants into the same coastal competition.
