UltraSwim 33.3 #7 Croatia, finisher portrait on day four

"I cried at the finish. I hadn't expected that."

Nic Cranfield, who completed the Greece edition in 2024, described the moment she stepped onto the dock as one of the most significant of her life. She had trained for seven months, swum alone for long stretches, and arrived at each stage start not entirely certain she could finish. She always did.

Over 500 finishers across all editions. Median age 50, this is not just for the young. 60% of finishers come back for a second event. Most swimmers arrive alone and leave with close friends.
