About Hồ Trị An

A vast freshwater lake (323 km², 76 islands) just two hours from Saigon. Flat, salt-free, jellyfish-free water for technical and long continuous swims — plus quiet countryside roads around the lake and a misty, island-dotted setting.

Why Train Here

Many Asian races swim in lakes and reservoirs, so calm fresh-water training has specific value — and it reassures athletes who are less comfortable in the sea. 'Swim to island' loops can be marked out, with boat support and a strict safety protocol.
