The event
Open Water Training Camp: Salina and the crossing to Lipari
Salina, the green island of the Aeolian archipelago, awaits you with its crystal-clear waters and lush nature. Shaped by two extinct volcanoes, it offers a unique and fascinating landscape where the green of the Mediterranean maquis meets the deep blue of the sea.
Stay and swims
In this experience we will stay in a characteristic **** Hotel and you will have the opportunity to explore the coasts of Salina both by swimming and by boat, discovering hidden coves and enchanting bays. The island, with its characteristic villages such as Malfa and Santa Marina Salina, is a true paradise for lovers of the sea and nature.
The program includes up to two water workouts per day, alternating with relaxation and exploration of the area. Thanks to a support boat, you can swim in the open sea, reaching coves and bays inaccessible from land: an unforgettable experience to admire the coast from a privileged perspective.
Special crossing: Salina – Lipari (4.5 km)
The program includes the possibility of a crossing from Salina to Lipari. The crossing will be at the sole discretion of the on-site technical staff. Its feasibility will be determined based on rigorous safety criteria and technical parameters, including: the overall athletic preparation of the group; an analysis of the participants' swimming speeds to ensure group compactness and effective monitoring in the water; current weather and sea conditions. These measures are in place to safeguard the well-being of all participants and to ensure the technical success of the endeavour.
For those coming with you
Companions can watch the swims from a private boat, when provided, to land in otherwise inaccessible places, or wait comfortably on the starting beaches; in any case, they will be an integral part of the group.
What are you waiting for? Book your experience in Salina and live an unforgettable adventure between sea and nature.
