MOL Campus Bay Swimming

Open the summer season with a city-center open-water swim in Budapest. MOL Campus Bay Swimming takes place at Flava Beach, BudaPart (Lágymányosi Bay) — a green, modern waterfront where the skyline sits right next to calm bay water. Choose your challenge from 500 m to 4,500 m and swim in controlled, safe conditions while friends and family relax on the grass at Kopaszi Dam or cheer you on from the shore.
Whether you’re trying open water for the first time or chasing a strong long-distance finish, this event gives you a clear goal, a scenic route, and a finish-line moment worth keeping — including a commemorative medal.

• 500 m — First open-water step

Curious about open water but want a short, confidence-building route? The 500 m swim is the easiest way to feel the rhythm of the bay, get comfortable with sighting, and enjoy a quick finish in a unique urban setting. Perfect for beginners and anyone who wants a fun summer splash with a real result.

• 1500 m — Classic challenge

The 1,500 m distance is the sweet spot: long enough to test fitness and pacing, short enough to stay enjoyable. You’ll settle into a steady tempo, take in Budapest from the water, and cross the line feeling like you truly earned it.

• 3000 m — Push your limits

Ready to go beyond “comfortable”? The 3,000 m swim rewards smart pacing and calm focus. It’s a strong endurance challenge with a fresh perspective on BudaPart from the bay — a distance that feels like a real performance, not just participation.

• 4500 m — For the most determined

The 4,500 m route is the full test: sustained effort, consistent technique, and mental strength. Swim between MOL Campus and BudaPart on the Danube bay and finish with the satisfaction of completing the longest course — plus the medal that marks a big day in your season.
