The four Carinthian lakes and their respective distances have already been finalised. And we can already tell you one thing: We have selected some real freshwater beauties with drinking water quality – just for you. We proudly present: Our incomparable locations.
The Open Four
Weissensee
In the district of Spittal an der Drau Weissensee stretches over 12 kilometers in a fjord-like landscape – between high peaks and gentle hills. The turquoise-blue beauty lies mostly undeveloped at about 950 meters above sea level and boasts picturesque bays. Where, if not here, should the swimming event of 2025 begin? Awaiting a grand opening! Swimming distance: 11.5 km
Millstätter See
Our next spot takes you to Millstätter See, north of the Carinthian Drautal valley. Surrounded by gentle mountains, the former glacier lake shows off its deep blue color. As the deepest lake in Carinthia, it impresses with its unparalleled clear water and idyllic surroundings. A place that draws you in. Here, you’ll find your flow. Perfect for Day 2! Swimming distance: 11.5 km
Faaker See
Faaker See is located in the districts of Villach and Finkenstein. A land ridge running from west to east splits the crystal-clear lake into two basins, rising 12 meters above the water as an island – a true highlight: We’ll swim around the island! Welcome to the Carinthian Caribbean. We’ll wrap up Day 3 with a shared island BBQ. Swimming distance: 3.5 km
Wörthersee
The region around Wörthersee is one of the most famous and popular holiday destinations in Austria. At 16.6 km long, Wörthersee, located on the imposing southern side of the Alps, is the largest lake in Carinthia and captivates with its almost Mediterranean flair. So, give it your all! The lake will carry you – from the eastern bay in Klagenfurt to Velden. Swimming distance: 17.5 km

JOHNNY WHO?
Johnny who is the one and only Open Water Swim Event 2025 in Carinthia, where you get the exclusive opportunity to swim across four Carinthian lakes in four days. Accompanied by professionals - from shore to shore. 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. Incidentally, we also celebrate the fact that he became world famous as an actor in the film business: As “Tarzan”.
