What's the challenge?
Meet the dawn in the east of Russia, and the sunset in the west of the country!
Two cities, so similar and so different. One is the gate to the East, the other is the gate to the West. One is the base for the Pacific Fleet, the other is for the Baltic fleet. One meets the dawn over Russia, the other sees off the sunset. So, we will meet the sun in the East and see it off in the West. Let's embrace Russia in one day.
In the morning "golden hour" we are swimming in the Eastern Bosphorus, and in the evening "golden hour" we will finish at the famous amber lake near Kaliningrad. The distance between Vladivostok and Kaliningrad is 7,300 km. We will fly that part. And we will swim, in total, 7,300 m.
We did it in September 2020 and it turned out to be one of the best of our travels ever. 30 X-SWIMMERS did it last year and they confirmed every word - it was absolutely stunning! Stream in!

Why?! - might some nerds ask. Damn it, because it's possible! - we will answer. Because this is an unrealistically cool way to experience the scale of the country and its diversity in one day. And the speed of movement here is a fundamental thing.
