🇵🇱 HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT: POLISH SWIMMER BECOMES THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO SWIM THE BALTIC SEA FROM SWEDEN TO POLAND 🔥
Bartłomiej Kubkowski has just written history.
After five attempts over several years, the Polish ultra-swimmer completed a nonstop crossing of the Baltic Sea — more than 160 km in around 55 hours without sleep, without rest, and without touching the support boat.
He started from Sweden on Friday and reached the beach in Dziwnów (West Pomerania) on Sunday evening, where crowds were waiting for him. After getting out of the water he was so exhausted he admitted he “still doesn’t know” what it feels like to have actually done it. During the second day he even experienced hallucinations.
In 2025 he had come agonizingly close — swimming 159 km before losing consciousness just 11 km from the finish. This time he finished the job.
He dedicated the historic swim to the children supported by the Cancer Fighters Foundation.
