2019 Ningbo Superman Meishan Bay Marathon Swimming Contest kicks off on June 23rd, with over 700 participants.

The contest, held by Ningbo Swimming Association, belongs to the series of activities Meishan Bay Tourist Zone organizes for the 2019 Meishan Young People Sports Season. With 35 swimming teams coming from more than ten countries and regions like China, Germany, France, Britain, Mexico, and Peru, the organizing committee divides all participants into four groups that swim from 3.5 kilometers to 13.5 kilometers.

The Meishan Bay Tourist Zone has been focusing on sports tourism recently to make itself a comprehensive destination to visit. Since 2017, the Ningbo Superman Marathon Swimming Contest has been successfully held twice, known as China’s longest distance public swimming contest. The Meishan Bay, dubbed as the Island of Sports and Leisure, is perfectly designed to hold swimming competitions for its beautiful beach and the over-ten-kilometer sea area
