X-Waters Slovenia

X-WATERS Slovenia takes place in the breathtaking setting of Lake Bled, one of the most iconic and photographed destinations in the world. Recognized by CNN among the 25 most beautiful places on Earth, Lake Bled offers a unique blend of alpine nature, crystal-clear water, and medieval charm.

Swimmers compete in calm, clean alpine waters surrounded by mountains, forests, and the famous island church at the center of the lake. The atmosphere is both peaceful and spectacular, creating one of the most memorable open-water swimming experiences in Europe.

The event offers multiple distances suitable for all levels, from a beginner-friendly 500m swim to longer endurance formats for experienced athletes. With minimal waves, warm conditions, and excellent visibility, Lake Bled is ideal for both first-time open-water swimmers and competitive athletes chasing performance.

A fully accessible walking path surrounds the lake, allowing spectators to follow the race from every angle and creating a vibrant race-day atmosphere. The nearby town is also a major international rowing hub, offering world-class sports infrastructure.

Beyond the competition, X-WATERS Slovenia is a full travel experience. Athletes and companions can enjoy lakeside cafés, local cuisine, and accommodation ranging from boutique hotels to budget stays. Whether you come for performance, nature, or adventure, Lake Bled delivers an unforgettable open-water swimming destination.
