About the team behind premium 33.3km open water marathon swim events in Europe and the Caribbean
UltraSwim 33.3 creates Epic Adventure Swim Races™. Founded by Mark Turner and Nathaniel Waring, we built a new kind of open water event around one iconic distance, the English Channel crossing of 33.3km, spread over four days in warmer and much more welcoming ocean and lake locations, in an 'off-road', point to point, adventure course format.
We created UltraSwim 33.3 through a love of open-water swimming and a desire to create a new category of multi-day event that inspires people and gives them the platform to push themselves out of their comfort zone and benefit from it.
Our event is home to an incredibly diverse community that ranges from 14-76 years old, usually more women than men with over 40 different nationalities. From competitive Masters swimmers, triathletes and swimrunners to leisure and wild swimmers simply aiming to complete the distance. From a required minimum pace of 2km/h, any determined swimmer can do it.
The uniqueness of UltraSwim 33.3 is the multi-day aspect of each event. Our races, which are spread out across Europe and beyond, focus on point-to-point swims (we hate laps), with the ultimate goal of completing the English Channel theoretically shortest crossing distance of 33.3 kilometres but spread over four days. The highs and lows experienced in the multi-day format with like-minded swimmers creates life long bonds and new friendships in a way that no single day event can ever achieve.
