The lake is inextricably linked to a legend, a creature that has lived in these depths for centuries, the Hydra…
This 7-headed being will accompany you, guiding you through his abode. A long 9km route, where you can get lost in the green landscape, enjoying every pristine glimpse that only our lake can offer. A race of both physical and mental endurance, where managing all your resources and staying focused on the one true goal will be essential: completing it.
This is “Hydra Legendary Swim”, simply the entire lake from north to south!

Meeting and accreditation of athletes with delivery of the race pack.
7:45
Short briefing from our staff before boarding the boat.
8:00
Departure of the athletes on the boat towards the beach of Ponte Caffaro, where the race will start.
9:00
Race start.
Upon arrival in Crone, athletes will have access to refreshments and will receive a participation medal.
Athletes will have the opportunity to enjoy a free lunch near the race course, thanks to the meal voucher included in their race pack.
Once all the athletes have arrived, the awards ceremony will be held.
The only buoys along the course are designed to keep athletes close to the western shore of the lake. Otherwise, the “HYDRA Legendary Swim” was conceived as a crossing where the lake itself indicates the direction to follow.
At the start the athletes will then immediately go to find the first buoy that will make them adhere to the west bank. From here they will continue following each inlet, up to Anfo, where there will be the refreshment point (approximately at km 5.5).
We will then continue up to the height of the Crone beach where, keeping the last buoy on the left, we will cross the lake up to the eastern shore, finally finding the finish area!
