WHAT'S THE CHALLENGE?
X-WATERS Sevan - pre-event swimming camp.
The Races:
All three competitive swims take place on one day — August 16. You can choose to swim one or two distances (the 500 m swim can be combined with the 6 km or the 1-mile).
All camp participants are automatically registered as participants of the swim event.
The Camp:
Sevan is more than just a dot on the swimming map. It is a place of power where it's worth staying longer. It’s six days on the shore of the ancient lake, during which we:
• enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear water of Sevan, uncovering new bays and scenic viewpoints every day;
• discover the rugged and beautiful nature of the Armenian Highlands, led by an experienced guide;
• immerse ourselves in the history and spirit of this place by visiting ancient monasteries — its timeless spiritual symbols;
• your non-swimming companions can join you on support boats, take part in excursions, discover Armenia, and become full-fledged participants in the camp;
• evenings by the campfire with a guitar, overlooking the lake and starry sky, will become the perfect space for connection and relaxation;
• the culmination will be your participation in the main swim, where you'll apply everything you've mastered to conquer the legendary course, earn your well-deserved medal, and celebrate your victory as part of X-WATERS Sevan 2026.

This journey is a chance not just to swim across Sevan, but to feel it with your entire soul.
The main: This is NOT a training camp where you'll shave 5 seconds off your 100 m. It IS your chance to experience the real Sevan — from water and land — in great company, while improving your open-water swimming skills along the way.
Important! The water in Sevan is cold, even in its "warmer" spots. It can reach up to 22°C but may also drop to 12°C or lower, even in the warmest area. It is impossible to predict — we can only hope and prepare. In case of challenging weather conditions, we will adapt the program accordingly.
