The first SwimHolidays in Madalena have been a true adventure for open water swimming enthusiasts, leaving us with incredible memories and unforgettable moments. This innovative vacation concept combines the pleasure of swimming in crystal-clear seas with exploring some of the most beautiful and authentic Mediterranean destinations.

The experience began with a visit to Castelsardo, a charming coastal town in Sardinia crowned by an ancient fortress. We enjoyed a scenic tour that ended with a swim to a pier, where we were able to savor an unforgettable sunset.

The second day was dedicated to exploring the spectacular islands of La Maddalena, a paradise for swimmers who love open water. Surrounded by calm, turquoise waters, we swam along its extensive shores and later immersed ourselves in the history and atmosphere of the city of Maddalena. Each stroke brought us closer to the essence of these pristine islands, where nature is in its purest form.

But the adventure didn't stop there. We headed to the island of Lavezzi, located off the coast of Corsica. This marine sanctuary is known for its crystal-clear waters and protected marine life.

The crowning moment of our SwimHolidays came with an exciting challenge: the crossing between the island of Spargiotto and the large island of Sardinia, a 4.5 km journey in open waters. This crossing was not only a physical achievement but also a unique experience of connection with the vastness of the sea. It served as the perfect training for the great challenge to come: the crossing of the Strait of Bonifacio, a legendary swim that tests the endurance and adventurous spirit of any swimmer.
