Unity in motion: six kilometers on water that connect hearts. Odessa at the “Heroes Regatta 2025” in Dnipro.

To celebrate Ukraine's Heroes Day, the annual event «Heroes Regatta 2025» took place in Dnipro, gathering participants from all over the country.

Two teams from Odessa, «Odyssey» and «Sea Wolves», represented the city at the competition.

The swim route covered 6 km from Monastery Island to the «Sich» yacht club. This event was not about sports but about remembrance, unity, and support.

Our teams paddled together as one: with songs, jokes, strength, and determination.

Odessa's adaptive athletes always prove that there are no barriers when there is a team!

Thank you, Dnipro, for the warm welcome, and we look forward to seeing Odessa residents back home!
