This year the annual big swim across Balaton will be organized on Saturday, 7 August.

Last time more than 9,000 people participated, swimming the 5.2 kilometre distance between Révfülöp in the north and Balatonboglár on the southern shore of the lake.
Swimmers can set off from Révfülöp on the north shore between 8 a.m. and noon on Saturday to cover the 5.2km distance to Balatonboglár.
More from the organisers:
During the cross swim there will be different time limits after certain distances.
Competitors have to get to the checkpoints at each kilometer until the given time.
A competitor who exceeds the time limit has to get up onto the boat, and can only get off at the finish in Balatonboglár.
