The crossing

Cape Dezhnev ↔ Cape Prince of Wales: 89.1 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 26 crossings by swimmers from 16 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.
