Hugo ROBIN

Convinced of the importance of evolving outdoors to develop well-being, I chose to become a trainer of triathlon and validates my state diploma. Focused on well-being and performance by pleasure, I completed this training by becoming a teacher of Yoga Sivananda and wellness masseur. I now coach young people in triathlon clubs and adults directly or remotely, on projects ranging from fitness to Ironman or Ultra trail.
- My motto to be serious without taking oneself too seriously. Joining Nage Libre® was both an obvious choice and an achievement, because I completely share their values and their passion for spreading them. I'll do my best to pass them on to you and learn from you all. We look forward to seeing you at Nage Libre® 2022!

- True to my values and commitments, I'm a member of my first club, where it all began, from 2016 to 2019, ASPTT POITIERS, who has always supported me in my sporting and personal projects, from the Pôle Espoir in Font Romeu, to the one in Bordeaux, to my career at the INSEP where I was able to blossom at the highest French level. 
- The spirit of Nage Libre® (Free Swimming®) is similar to the one I experienced in Poitier: their investment and commitment to sport and pleasure gave me what I was looking for to continue in this performance-fulfillment project.
- Nage Libre® has put its trust in me for my personality and not just my image as a sportsman. That's how we've been working together since 2018, and I'm proud to be their ambassador.

Bertrand VENTURI

“Born between the Mediterranean Sea and the Etang de Thau, a native of the town of Georges Brassens, Sète, I'm like Obelix, I've fallen into the swimming cauldron, and what's more, I've done it while I was swimming. open water, from an early age.
- Passionate about the great outdoors, I'm currently a coach with Neptune Olympique Frontignan (N.O.F) and try to pass on the experience I've gained over the years to young and old alike. 
- Open water swimming is a discipline that cannot be controlled, but which we can contribute knowledge to improve and continue progress. To be associated with a brand like Nage Libre®, whose human values, commitment and simplicity, It's a privilege to have a taste for things that are simple but well done. It makes it possible to work in a concrete way and move in the same direction, pleasure.”

Loïc MÉTAIS

- Swimmer for over 50 years, former triathlete, organizer of sporting events for the general public, now specializing in long-distance open water events.
- Swimming is a gliding sport, a paradoxical sport because it's contrary to human nature. Is man not a terrestrial biped?
- With age, the notion and pleasure of gliding never wanes, and you'll even find yourself trying to refine your strokes, to learn more and more, to get to grips with the liquid element...
- So what about open water swimming?, where sensations are heightened tenfold by natural conditions, water temperature, sea or fresh water, transparent or not, chop or swell, headwind or tailwind, with or without a landmark in the distance? On the strength of all these experiences and observations, I imagine, organize and carry out original swimming challenges in aid of worthy charitable causes.

Rémi CAMUS

“I'm Rémi Camus, adventurer explorer French, born in 1985.
For over 10 years, I've been traveling the world with the aim of raising public awareness of the need to preserve our environment, and water in particular.
I share my tales of adventure during survival courses, of conferences in companies but also in schools, because I'm convinced that the key to success is education.”
