X-WATERS Montenegro

About the Event

Embark on an unforgettable swimming expedition through history and nature at X-WATERS Montenegro 2026 in the UNESCO-worthy Bay of Kotor. Your swim becomes a journey past ancient Illyrian settlements, Venetian architecture, and between two iconic islands—one a natural Benedictine abbey, the other a man-made marvel built from shipwrecks. The event offers a range of distances, including a unique Night 750m swim and the epic 7k course that starts and finishes on the Risan beach. The fjord's combination of warm, calm Adriatic water and dramatic Scandinavian-like steepness creates the perfect arena for an open-water challenge. Register now to secure your spot and experience why this "Venice's competitor" is a premier destination for swimmers from around the globe.
