OCEANMAN Greece

OCEANMAN is the world's largest Open Water Swimming event, attracting the interest of swimmers at every location where it takes place. OCEANMAN Greece was launched in Greece by Armandos Linardos, a swimmer with a special love for the Sea, with a vision of Sports Experience Tourism, in Oitylo, East Mani, Peloponnese, in 2016. This race became an established event that attracted the interest of many athletes from dozens of countries from all continents of the world, culminating in 2019, a year in which the number of participants reached 1,000. The health crisis of the globe and the war in Europe stopped the development, but without preventing I.Q.
