The people and services that get you safely across the 33.3km distance.

33.3KM | 4 DAYS
In short

You do not swim the Channel distance alone. Every UltraSwim 33.3 event is backed by boat and kayak cover, safety crews, coaches and a preparation team, so you can focus on the swimming while the support surrounds you across four days.

Your ultimate swimming challenge awaits

UltraSwim 33.3 is an Epic Adventure Swim Race™ covering 33.3km, the historic English Channel distance, split across five to seven point to point open water swims (we hate laps) over four days in warmer water locations (a half Channel 17km option exists). So far held in Croatia, Switzerland, Greece, Spain, Montenegro and the Caribbean, based at luxury spa hotels, with world class safety cover, premium support, a complete preparation programme and a diverse community that ranges from 14 to 74 years old, usually more women than men. From competitive Masters swimmers, triathletes and swimrunners to leisure and wild swimmers simply aiming to complete the distance. From a required pace of just 2km/h, any determined swimmer can do it. Come in a group or alone, everyone leaves with new friends for life. Award winning, all inclusive packages start from €1,575 CHECK (€750 for our 2 day Compact format)
