HADRIA – SWIMMING THAT UNITES RANKING 2023
An open water stage swim competition, open to everyone, that connects Italy and Slovenia.
It is a consecutive stage race competition, the only one of its kind.

2020 was a critical year for all the human activities both economical and sport. Isolation and new habits have influenced, transformed and modified the normal relationships among the people. The have social distancing based on medical and heath reason has carried also a distancing of the people on the emotional level. Closing the border was a step back to the past in contrast with the modern visions of union and contemporary Europe. Our idea of open water swimming, in consecutive stages, acquires a deeper symbolic value of union and overpass barriers trough Sport. The cross border concept of the competition enforced the connection between Slovenia and Italy, enhancing the synergy and exchanges between the communities.
With the Patronage of the Municipalities of Trieste, Muggia and the cooperation of the Municipality of Piran
Cofinanced by the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia
Aderenti ai progetti
Eco-sustainability from 2023. Through the dematerialisation of promotional material, the replacement of plastic bags and bottles such as race and comfort packs with recycled cotton bags and recycled aluminum water bottles, we have raised awareness among athletes regarding the reduction of plastic consumption. We illustrated to children and special athletes the benefits to the marine environment given by reducing plastic consumption. We have delivered materials that we hope will be reused by athletes in future training and competitions, providing our contribution to the need to reduce the production of waste that is potentially harmful to the environment around us.

Hadria – between sport and holiday.
The idea of a competition that takes place in 3 consecutive days, from Thursday until Sunday, goes together with another concept: an itinerant accommodation for the athletes, their families and the friends accompanying them; in this way they can enjoy the 3 cities involved and the nearby territories. In order to make Hadria an innovative competition we offer to the athletes that want to combine the competition with this short holiday.
