SwimTheIsland San Vincenzo

SwimTheIsland arrives in San Vincenzo

SwimTheIsland makes its first appearance in Tuscany, choosing the coastline of San Vincenzo, in the heart of the Etruscan Coast, in the province of Livorno. On June 20 and 21, 2026, the beach of the Rimigliano Coastal Park will become the stage for a new leg of the national open-water swimming circuit, one of the most highly regarded events for open-water enthusiasts in the country.

A natural amphitheater on the Tyrrhenian Sea

The clear waters and sandy seabeds of Rimigliano, with views opening up toward the Island of Elba and the Piombino promontory, offer an ideal setting for open-sea swimmers. The Rimigliano Park is a protected natural area stretching over six kilometers of coastline, featuring dunes, Mediterranean scrub, and pine forests: a backdrop that perfectly blends sporting challenges with the pleasure of enjoying the Tuscan landscape.

Races and distances for all levels

The program offers formats designed for both experienced swimmers and those new to open-water swimming:

• Short Swim — 1,800 meters
• Sunset Swim — 1,500 meters, a sunset swim
• Classic Swim — 3,200 meters, the flagship race
• Combined Swim — a two-day format combining Saturday and Sunday legs
• Family and Team Relay — relays for families and teams
• Events dedicated to younger swimmers

More than just a race

SwimTheIsland is also about celebration and community. The Expo Village comes to life along the beach, featuring the race office, bib collection, and partner stands, while the Pirlo Party on the first evening turns the post-race atmosphere into a social gathering for athletes, families, and supporters. The event, expected to draw around 500 participants from across Italy and abroad, highlights San Vincenzo as a premier destination for sports and seaside tourism.

The organization

The stage is organized by TriO Eventi ssd, the creators of the SwimTheIsland circuit, with the support of the Municipality of San Vincenzo, the Province of Livorno, and the Tuscany Region, with hu Park Albatros Village as the official hospitality partner. As Mayor Paolo Riccucci noted, San Vincenzo is proud to host a stage of SwimTheIsland for the first time, strengthening the role of the Tuscan coast as a destination for outdoor sports lovers.
