DNSE Aquaman Vietnam's medal design features two rhombus slices forming a compass arrow, representing the finish line and the limitless possibilities beyond it.

The organizers of DNSE Aquaman Vietnam 2023 unveiled the medals almost a month before the competition. Unlike the previous year's medal, which was inspired by Sa Vi Cape, Vietnam's northeastern-most point, this year's design incorporates the diamond and compass symbols.

Formed underground over millions of years, diamond represents strength and purity. Its perfect beauty and sparkle make it highly coveted.

"That's why the medal serves as a well-deserved reward for athletes' efforts and perseverance in conquering challenges during swim-run routes," an organizer said.

The medal design perfectly aligns with the tournament's message - "The racetrack of dreams." Every athlete carries within them the aspiration to surpass their own limits and set new records.

Upon completing the distance as per regulations, participants are awarded medals with corresponding colored ribbons.
