THE EVENT

Open Water Training Camp - Salina, a Gem of the Aeolian Islands. Salina, the green island of the Aeolian archipelago, awaits you with its crystal-clear waters and lush nature. Characterized by two extinct volcanoes, offers a unique and fascinating landscape where the green of the Mediterranean maquis meets the deep blue of the sea. In this experience, you will have the opportunity to explore the coasts of Salina both by swimming and by sea, discovering hidden coves and enchanting bays. The island, with its characteristic villages like 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 the mainland. An unforgettable experience to admire the coast from a privileged perspective and enjoy direct contact with nature. What are you waiting for? Book your experience in Salina and live an unforgettable adventure between sea and nature. Accompanying persons 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.
