At the beginning of September, the thirty seven-year-old Bulgarian will swim 100 kilometers without rest between Vidin and Kozloduy.
This will be his first time swimming in freshwater. According to Tsanko Tsankov, swimming in freshwater has its peculiarities. ''There are no big waves or strong currents there.
