FAQs
Are you going to share with us additional information of the event?
YES of course. Once you are registered and have paid the first amount, you will be added to a mailing list. You will therefore receive from us different emails containing important information about your event.
Is there going to be a briefing the day before the crossing?
YES, there is going to be a technical briefing (and a potential practice swim) the day before the event at 5PM on the local beach.
Is there any assistance/help with travel plans, hotels, places to visit near by etc.?
YES, Swimming Travel can provide help with your logistics and travel plan. Please contact us in the contact us section for further information.
Can I swim with a wetsuit?
YES, it is possible. It will simply be added as a note in the result list next to your name.
I would like to participate in the Messina Strait Swim Crossing but I'm not sure I am fit enough and can make it across. Are there any indications on how good of a swimmer you need to be?
YES, we suggest you take your 2000 meters swim time (in the pool) as a measure. If you are able to swim 2km under 60 minutes in the pool, than you should be able to complete it. We say “should” since it also really depends on the sea and weather conditions, such as currents and winds.
