On this occasion, the test resumed the usual route starting from the islet. The previous year, due to the pandemic, it was altered and, in 2020, it was suspended.

After 8:15 a.m., the horn sounded for the swimmers to start, at full speed, along the route, always marked by the organization. The first to travel the 3,700 m (approximately 2 nautical miles) that separate the Island from Mal Pas, was the Benidorm resident of La Nucía, Miguel Bou, in 46 minutes and 10 seconds; next, José Miguel Lozano, 53' 28''; and, in the third position, Miguel Ángel Sánchez, in 53' and 55''.

The first woman to reach the beach was Ángela Cerdán, with a time of 54' 43'', followed by Eliana Krist Sotelo (57' 43'') and Nerea Alonso (59' 15'').

After the test and the winners of the different categories were certified, the trophies were handed over by the Councilor for Sports, Mariló Cebreros, and the queens of the Festes Majors Patronals 2022, Aila Merenciano and Chloe d'Hebboudt, accompanied by their ladies.

The organization of the Crossing has had the collaboration of the Red Cross, the Beach Section of the Local Police, the Yacht Club, RA Benidorm, UTE Benidorm Marine, Carla 7 Boat, Carlos Serrano aquatic activities, Grupo Scout Horizontes and Coca-cola.

The final classifications can be compared throughout the day on the web: https://www.chiplevante.com/es/prove/2022TRAVILLAPORT-833-2022
