The swim will pass around the Zayachy Island and Peter and Paul Fortress clockwise along the Neva and the Kronverksky Strait.
The start and finish point of 2300m and 4600m – at the main beach of the Peter and Paul Fortress with a wonderful view of the Winter Palace and the spit of Vasilevsky Island.
Start of distance 900 m - from the beach near the Ioannovsky bridge, finish - on the main beach of the Peter and Paul Fortress. The exit is almost immediately to the Neva - easy distance without the oncoming stream of the Kronverksky Strait.
Relay race, distance 2300 meters:
Stage 1 (1400 m) start from the central beach, go around the Zayachy Island clockwise. Swim along the Kronverksky Strait (a small oncoming stream). Finish on the beach near Ioannovsky bridge.
Stage 2 (900 m) start from the beach near the Ioannovsky bridge, swim under the bridge, go around the Hare Island clockwise. Finish on the main beach of the Fortress.
The Neva is one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. Free and restive, it emphasizes the beauty of St. Petersburg, turning the city into "Northern Venice". Lots of poems and songs are devoted to this river, it is loved as much as majestic Petersburg itself.
In the heart of the city Neva washes the Zayachy Island. Here in 1703 the construction of the great and beautiful future capital of the Russian Empire began. The heart of St. Petersburg was Peter and Paul Fortress. It is still the same today‑ with its magnificent cathedral, the burial place of Russian emperors, many museums and historical monuments.
We think this could become the most unusual tour around St. Petersburg!
