- The first thing you must know before swim across the Strait of Gibraltar is this challenge have experienced a boom over the last few years. Every year, the demand continues to grow and as a result the Association has had to implement a procurement process.
- Waiting lists can exceed two years. This timeframe will give you the opportunity to get information and train yourself in order to be brilliantly successful and achieve your goal. The association works to reduce these waiting times mixing swimmers and other techniques, so the allocation of dates depends to a large extent on the flexibility of the swimmers.
- Please read all the information, rules and requirements posted on our website. It is essential for your crossing.
- Should you need further information, please write an email to: acneg@acneg.com
- Dates requested cover a one week period from April to November.

I got thinking about this because of the metal detecting coin find topic, which naturally made me think of a story I'd heard from an English-born guy who paid for his vacation in Gibraltar by free-diving for lost Rolexes off Gibraltar (he was also a metal detectorist, and a little shady). And the video linked below contributed to the idea for this topic, which is really a connection with prehistoric navigation.

Ah, the ESL “journalists” who aren’t up to speed enough to be given the Crucify Trump & Family jobs.

The shortest distance across the strait is nearly 8 miles, so swimmers better be in peak physical condition.
My brother and I swam across Hood Canal in Washington state for our Boy Scout mile swim patch back in 1966 - Dad accompanied us in a rowboat just in case.

Step 1. Know how to swim.
Step 2. Swim.
Step 3. While swimming, don’t get ran over by a ship or boat.
Step 4. While swimming, don’t get eaten by a shark.
Step 5. While swimming, don’t drown.
Step 6. While swimming, aim for other side of the strait.
Step 7. Swim all the way to other side of strait.
Suggestion: Try to swim to other side of strait, straight.

You forgot to mention the tides that can take a swimmer into either the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean.

Oh well. The pamphlet has been printed and is out for distribution.
We’re just gonna have to pretend that the tides aren’t an issue.
Lets not forget to set up a dead-end loop to the complaint process.

Thats a really interesting website. I love how it says - if you swim only 2 KM/H, you will not make it!
