Bart\u0142omiej Kubowski became the first person in history to swim across the entire Baltic Sea. The athlete covered over 160 kilometers in nearly 55 hours without stopping. He dedicated his swim to a charitable cause<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kubowski completed a historic swim across the Baltic Sea. After almost two days of continuous swimming, he reached the Polish coast at Dziwn\u00f3w from the Swedish shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The athlete started on Friday, July 31, in the Swedish town of Kaseberg. During the swim, he covered over 160 kilometers and spent about 55 hours in the water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u0142ywa\u0142 bez przerwy \u2014 nie zatrzymywa\u0142 si\u0119, nie spa\u0142 i nie dotyka\u0142 towarzysz\u0105cej \u0142odzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After coming out of the water, Kubowski admitted that he still cannot comprehend what happened due to extreme fatigue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fifth attempt was successful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Bart\u0142omiej Kubowski, this was already the fifth attempt to swim across the Baltic Sea. He first tried to do this in 2022. At that time, the athlete spent 32 hours in the water and covered 115 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Kubowski was particularly close to his goal. He swam 159 kilometers and spent 53 hours in the water without a break. Only 11 kilometers remained to the Polish coast, but the swim had to be stopped after the athlete lost consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that attempt, Kubowski said he would not return to this challenge. However, the desire to try again proved to be stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy head was telling me that I needed to rest, but every day when I went to bed, I felt like I wanted to try again. I couldn\u2019t fall asleep with the thought of giving up,\u201d the athlete wrote in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tym razem uda\u0142o mu si\u0119 uko\u0144czy\u0107 tras\u0119 i wpisa\u0107 do historii p\u0142ywania d\u0142ugodystansowego<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swim was charitable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The event had not only a sporting purpose but also a charitable one. At the same time as the start, fundraising began for the beneficiaries of the Cancer Fighters<\/strong> foundation, which helps cancer patients and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly before the finish, the total donations exceeded 560 thousand zlotys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swim could be followed live on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
