The event organized by C.D. Herbania will take place this Sunday, October 13, 2024 in an event with many levels of competitors
Next Sunday, October 13, 2024, the long-awaited XXV Isla de Lobos-Isla de Fuerteventura Swim Crossing will be held, an emblematic event that will bring together swimmers of all levels in a competition that crosses the waters of the Atlantic. With a total distance of 3,500 meters, this crossing is a challenge that promises to test the endurance and skill of the participants in an unparalleled natural environment.
Swimmers must be in the boarding area at 11:15 a.m., where the transfer to "Punta Marrajo" on Lobos Island will be made, from which the official departure will be given at 12:00 p.m. The organization recommends that participants arrive with enough time to avoid setbacks and to be able to meet the prerequisites for the start of the race.
Mandatory equipment
To ensure safety and control throughout the crossing, the use of the cap and ankle chip is mandatory for all swimmers. These elements must remain with the participant throughout the course, since the chip will allow real-time monitoring and will help to count the final time of each swimmer. The organization places special emphasis on compliance with this standard to ensure adequate follow-up of all participants.
The delivery of bibs will take place on the same day of the event and it will be essential to present an identity document, such as the ID, to confirm registration and collect the necessary material for the event. This procedure ensures that only officially registered participants can compete, which contributes to the organization and security of the event.
A unique scenario
The route between Isla de Lobos and Fuerteventura offers a spectacular setting for this event, allowing swimmers to enjoy crystal clear waters and a unique marine environment. With a distance of 3,500 meters, this crossing not only represents a physical challenge, but also an opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Canary Islands from the sea.
Both local and international swimmers are expected to participate, adding a multicultural character to the event. Safety will be guaranteed thanks to the presence of support boats that will accompany the swimmers throughout the journey, ready to intervene if necessary.
