Discover the unknown Bakota and overcome the distance that others only dream of

We invite you to take part in a swim in the open water, in a fantastic location - Bakota Bay. Located on the territory of Staroushytska OTG and Podilsky Tovtry National Nature Park, this place has a rich history and is known primarily as one of the oldest male monasteries in Ukraine. Dozens of villages were flooded during the construction of the Novodnistrovskaya HPP, which was a tragedy for thousands of people. The climate in Bakota Bay is unique for Ukraine and very mild due to the rocky shores; it is compared with Yalta.

The starting town and mass distances of 3 and 6 km are located on the observation deck, from which you need to go down to the starting point. The most experienced participants will be able to cover a distance of 24 km along the Dnister from the recreation center "Ksenia". And while you swim, spectators will be able to enjoy the fantastic view of Bakota Bay and the hospitality of the residents of Staroushytska OTP. Register for the competition and become part of the legend.
