​​Event Details:
  • Meeting Point: We’ll gather at Plužine Beach, the designated finish line for the swim.

  • Transportation: A boat will transport participants from the finish line to the starting point, ensuring a seamless transition to the swim.

  • Kayak Support: Each swimmer will be paired with a kayaker for safety and guidance. You can provide your own paddler and kayak (no additional fee), or for an extra charge, we can supply both. If you choose to share kayak support, you may book as a tandem-solo, where two swimmers share one paddler. However, swimmers must be of similar pace and stay side-by-side with their paddler throughout the swim.

  • Safety Briefing: Prior to the swim, a comprehensive safety briefing will cover swim routes, safety protocols, and communication signals to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. All swimmers and paddlers must attend the briefing.

  • Post-Swim Celebration: Upon finishing the swim, swimmers will be greeted with a glass of bubbles to celebrate their achievement, plus a BBQ lunch featuring a variety of meats, salads, and vegetarian options. Food and drinks will be available throughout the day, so each swimmer can enjoy a well-deserved treat as they complete their swim.

​
Cut-off Time and Conditions:
  • Time Limit: There will be a 5-hour cut-off time for the swim.

  • Exit from the Water: If a swimmer is more than 500 meters from the finish line after 5 hours, they will be pulled from the water for safety reasons. This ensures that everyone has the best experience and is able to complete the event within a safe timeframe.
