Water World Swim

La Ruta Open Water Swim

Exotic Costa Rica is the venue for this swim in the tropical water of the Central Pacific Coast of the most biodiverse country in the planet. The swim will start in Hermosa Beach well known for its good surfing waves and will finish 7km later at Jaco Beach. It's a 7km swim but we will be helped with the incoming tide so the effort is aprox. for a 4km swim.

Who organizes it?

Roman Urbina and his adventure expert team... same team that organizes LA RUTA DE LOS CONQUISTADORES (Toughest MTB race on the planet) Roman has 30 plus year of experience surfing Hermosa Beach, first swimmer to cross the Gulf of Nicoya 25km swim, has organized multiple open water swimming events in Costa Rica including the swim across the Gulf of Nicoya 6 times. Has participated and finished Swim Around Key West... 21km swim (the year it was cancelled due to rough waters and big waves and only a handful of 20 or less were able to finish.)

COST of the entry is $26 include t shirt and lunch.
