Arrive early for acclimatisation swims and a full course recce with Performance Coach Nicola Butler, compete across four extraordinary days on the Montenegrin Adriatic, then head to Dubrovnik to celebrate in style – finishing with a SwimQuest-led swim around the ancient castle walls of the Old City.

This is the complete open water adventure. The UltraSwim 33.3 Montenegro is UltraSwim’s original and most loved event, offering both wild mountain backdrops and deep fjords, as well as rugged Adriatic coastline. Choose to book onto the full 33.3km distance (21 miles), or enter the half, ‘33.3/2 BUILD’ category instead.

Highlights

Nicola Butler - Sports Performance Coach

From the moment you book, Nicola is in your corner. A pre-trip one-to-one Zoom call and a personalised training plan mean you'll arrive in Montenegro prepared and excited. Nicola is also your SwimQuest guide during the trip.

UltraSwim 33.3 Magic

Your race begins inside a spectacular natural sea cave - one of the most dramatic start lines in open water swimming anywhere in the world.

Zero hassle, perfectly crafted

Not only will you join the trip already knowing your fellow SwimQuesters, this SwimQuest package is carefully crafted to ensure time to settle in, a full route recce and time to wind down and explore some more of this magnificent place before heading home.

The buzz of pride!

There's nothing better than the feeling you get when you've achieved something extraordinary. As Matthew Webb said - "nothing great is easy".

Itinerary

Day 1

Arrivals and acclimitisation

On landing, we'll pick you up from Dubrovnik airport and transfer you to the hotel (approx. 35 minutes). Once you've had time to settle in, Nicola will lead a final coached swim to shake off the travel tension before the week begins. The day finishes with dinner together, where we'll run through what to expect over the coming week.
Day 2

Course preview & registration

This morning we head out by boat for a close look at the UltraSwim 33.3 course you'll be tackling over the coming days. We'll break up the trip with a short 1km swim, before stopping for lunch. In the afternoon, we make our way to the registration area to collect race packs and meet your fellow swimmers, followed by an acclimatisation swim to get a feel for the water. The day winds down with dinner together before an early night - rest up for the days ahead!
Day 3

UltraSwim 33.3 day 1

The action starts with a 4km swim from Lazure Marina to Portonovi Beach Club. After a short rest and refuel, we continue this stunning coastal route, with a 4.8km swim from Portonovi Beach Club - taking in a 750m channel crossing as we head towards our finish point for the day - Rose Beach.
