Find plenty to inspire your off-season swimming in the Zone3 outdoor swimming session. Among the speakers is Guinness World Record holder Cath Pendleton, who in 2020 became the first female to swim a mile inside the Antarctic Polar Circle, and the Adaptive Athlete, Sophie Etheridge, who has just completed a Windermere Two Way Swim.<\/p>\n

Speakers also include former Olympic swimmer Neil Agius, who holds the world record for the longest, continuous, unassisted, swim (a 125.6km, 52-hour swim between Linosa and Gozo) and local swimmer Winnie Poaty, who learnt to swim as an adult and is now campaigning to get everyone swimming no matter their skin colour or background.<\/p>\n
