What's the challenge?
Enjoy the distance in the best X-WATERS traditions - from one point to another across the Eastern Bosphorus sea strait. See the sunrise under the spans of the largest cable bridge in the world (the one on the 2000 rubles banknote), swim along the rocky forested shore and monumental artillery batteries. Enjoy clear landmarks, stunning views, clean, light, and comfortable water.
The swim is included in the sports program of the Eastern Economic Forum, and is also part of the unique X-WATERS project "Embrace Russia", in which you can also take part!

Swim in the largest and most picturesque gulf of the Sea of Japan.

Drive along the world's longest cable bridge to the Seaside Oceanarium. Dive for an oyster. Get inside a submarine. Eat a ton of seafood. Wander around a city built on countless hills and at the junction of civilizations: Japan to the east, China to the west, Korea to the south. Russian city built by Germans, Danes, and British.
