The crossing

Kotlin Island ↔ Yelagin Island: 28.3 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 20 crossings by swimmers from 3 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.
