The crossing

Savai'i ↔ Upolu: 22.7 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 25 crossings by swimmers from 7 countries.

Distance is the shortest straight line between the start and finish coastal stretches, not the GPS track length: currents cause swimmers to cover much more distance.
