What is AllCover Coast Swim?

AllCover Coast Swim is a swim from Nieuwpoort to Ostend, or from Ostend to Nieuwpoort (+/- 16k m, with the current. The swimmer gains about 2 km/u because of the current on top of the speed he or she is swimming. You can swim individually or in relay (with 2, 3 or 4 swimmers)

(AllCover Coast Swim is organised by vzw Ommeweg)
