Long-distance training trip in Gozo, April 2008
220 Triathlon sent Nicola to cover Swimtrek's dedicated long-distance training trip on Gozo in April 2008. It was a perfect gig for her as she is currently training for a Jersey-to-France swim later in the year.
The feature she wrote about the trip will be out soon and she'll add it here.
Swimtrek are a wonderful company with a wonderful idea. Two Channel swimmers realised that there are people out there who want to island-hop in places like the Greek cyclades, but that they didn't want to get a boat between islands because they'd rather swim. Swimtrek offer lots of lovely swimming/trekking holidays all over the world. They also offer a training 'camp' on Gozo for people with a long-distance swim goal in mind. There's an optional six-hour swim (the qualifying swim time for the English Channel). The week Nicola was out there, the group finished the week off with a gorgeous swim from Gozo to the tiny island of Comino, where they then lunched at the Blue Lagoon (pictured).
