Gibraltar Straits Swim - Open Water Swim - Rick Halton

[bertiebirdman]

I was swimming on the Eastern side of Gibraltar without wetsuit today. Rather cold! Good video showing how different swimming "out there" is to swimming in open, yet sheltered water. My friends and I swim in the Port of Gibraltar, or on our Eastern coast 4-6 times a week now. Grateful for any advice for completing a Strait Crossing. Well done!

Well done, Rick!

Practico todos los miércoles en natación para, quién sabe, quizá algún día poder hacer algo grande como tú.

Hola Mateo. Muchas gracias por las felicitaciones. Yo te animo a nadar mucho y ponerte aún más fuerte que ya eres para poder nadar y divertirnos en el mar cuando vayamos en el barco juntos con Ainara. Un abrazo, Rick.

Thanks Farah. Hopefully next time I'll stay in your country for more than 1 minute :-)) and get to see more than a cliff face. All the best, Rick.

Cool video by the way

[rickhalton]

Cheers Raul. Menos mal que tuve mi padre allí para sacar las fotos y el video. Ya solo falta hacer la ida y vuelta. Así ahorro el billete de vuelta ;-)
