Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just testing the waters, this individual challenge is all about pushing personal boundaries and having fun.

Grab your goggles, hit the pool, and let’s get swimming. Register today to secure your spot in the Swim Rio de Janeiro challenge and take a stroke towards victory. See you in the water! 🌊Rio de Janeiro has some of the world's most iconic land marks and by the end of 2016 the city will be able to look back on a remarkable few years after hosting the 2014 Football World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. This swim starts in the North of the city, at the brand new Museo do Amanha (Museum of Tomorrow) and takes you past the Ilas das Cobras (Isle of the Snakes) and the airport, to the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain. From there, you'll swim around the point, past Copacabana Beach the Fort at it's South end, finishing on the beach at Ipanema, where there's a wealth of cocktail bars to choose from!
