The narrow channel, which has played different roles throughout man's history, will be site of the 3-mile swim from the ancient town of Eceabat on the European side of the straits to the naval fort in Canakkale, Turkey. The Hellespont Swim will be followed on the Lord Byron Swim Festival and a celebratory dinner on May 3rd, 2010.
