BCT supports Gdynia Winter Swimming Cup 2023

Participants brave the chilling waters at the Gdynia Winter Swimming Cup 2023

Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) is proud to be the main sponsor of the fourth edition of the Gdynia Winter Swimming Cup 2023 BCT Series by Piotr Biankowski.
 
The extreme winter swimming competition took place in Gdynia’s yacht marina from 4 to 5 February, combining sports and charity. As with every year, the event’s purpose was to support the Ronald McDonald Foundation’s beneficiaries and promote physical activity.  
 
More than 300 swimmers from Poland and other countries competed in 25-, 50-, 100-, 250- and 500-meter distances in the chilling waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk, which reached temperatures of as low as to 2.5 degrees Celsius. The competition was made more challenging by constantly changing weather conditions including snow, gust and rain.
 
The event’s uniqueness stems from the demanding conditions as participants were only allowed to use goggles, a swimming cap and standard swimwear. The two-day competition provided an excellent opportunity to promote physical activity for people of all ages.
