Welcome to a new swimming adventure in Imatra, where you will swim from Lake Saimaa to River Vuoksi.
The clear water of Finland’s largest lake, Saimaa, its stunning views, and old boathouses, lead swimmers to river Vuoksi, where the most fun and above all, the fastest part of the event begins. When swimming in the current of Vuoksi, swimmers are guaranteed to experience record speeds.
Event info

In the long-distance race, swimmers will cover around 4.5-5 km in Lake Saimaa. In the medium distance, swimmers will cover 2.5-3 km in Lake Saimaa, and in the sprint distance, swimmers will slide in the Vuoksi rapids.
