The three men and three women expect the 170-kilometre swim to take at least three days and three nights, with each plunging into the cold waters of the Baltic for an hour before taking a five-hour break.
The swimmers are triathlon enthusiasts from a Warsaw sports club who spent a year preparing for the challenge.
