Emmanuel Hiriart is an open water swimming and triathlon coach with over 2 decades of racing experience. He has established Mountainride in Beirut, Lebanon.

Hiriart organizes workouts and training camps with dreams to develop open water swimming in Lebanon. “I will organize a 8-10 km race in Tripoli north Lebanon around the Rabbits Island this spring. I want to launch open water swimming in this country that is not very concerned of the sea.

But I launched some open water swimming sessions that are open to everyone. We now have up to 40 swimmers who train regularly.”
