Description of the route

The organizers «SWIM ACROSS CORINTH CANAL» organize a 6 km swimming race, for adults and children which will be held on September 27, 2016 at the Corinth Canal (Isthmus).

The Corinthian Isthmus is a narrow strip of land that connects mainland Greece with the Peloponnese while the canal that has been opened joins the Saronic with the Corinthian Bay. The canal crosses a straight line the Corinthian Isthmus in length 6.346m.The width of the sea surface is 24,6m. and the bottom 21,3 m., while the depth varies between 7,50 – 8m.

Today two road, two railway and two submersible bridges at both ends of the canal connect the mainland side of the Isthmus to that of the Peloponnese. At the western end of the canal also exists a military emergency bridge.

The prevailing winds in the canal are mainly northwest. The sea currents which will determine the station and the starting time of the race for the convenience of athletes, usually change direction every six hours. The usual flow rates amounts to two and a half knots and rarely exceed three knots. During the change of the current direction it is noticeable that the water stops while the speed in the opposite direction is increasing gradually.

The athletes who will participate in the race «SWIM ACROSS CORINTH CANAL» entirely with their own responsibility, are invited to swim a distance of about 6 km along the sea canal within a period of four (4) hours, which has given for this reason from the administration of the Corinth Canal (A. E .DI .K).
