Yes, Johnny Who is our baby.
Yes, Johnny Who is our baby. So, we're not just the organizers of the 2025 open-water swimming event, we're basically Johnny's home. Since the very first idea, we've been nurturing, training, and pushing our baby – doing everything we can to make it an outstanding event.
And yes, we love the extreme. Challenges are our drive. We know what it means to push beyond our limits and unleash untapped strength. We’re athletes like YOU – with the same hunger for personal success
About
Johnny who? It’s none other than the swimming legend Johnny Weissmüller who inspired us to come up with the name. As the first person in the world to swim under a minute in the 100 metre freestyle, he embodies exactly the spirit that should accompany you on your challenge.

Swim like Johnny, roar like Tarzan!
