About the event

Dive into a thrilling swimming adventure in the breathtaking Kotor Bay, Europe's southernmost fjord, as part of the X-WATERS World Championship series. This event invites you to experience a town-to-town swim between the charming coastal towns of Perast and Risan, with options of a 4.5 km stretch or a more challenging 7 km loop. Immerse yourself in the warm, calm waters while enjoying stunning views of the bay framed by majestic mountains. Swim courses wind between two remarkable islands: St. George, with its historic Benedictine abbey, and the unique "Gospa od Škrpjela" (Our Lady of the Rocks), an artificial island born from shipwrecks and stones contributed by passing sailors. This island stands as a testament to the local spirit of resistance against Kotor’s dominance and is home to the notable Church of the Mother of God, a must-see landmark in the bay.
