What an incredible week at our Cozumel Open Water Swimming Clinic from May 10–18! Swimmers experienced an unforgettable adventure filled with learning, fun, and exhilarating challenges in the crystal-clear waters of Cozumel. The highlight of the trip was participating in the legendary “El Cruce” — the iconic 10Km open water swim from Cancun to Isla Mujeres. Throughout the clinic, swimmers developed essential open water skills, including managing and enjoying currents, night swimming, navigation, race strategies, and handling wavy conditions with confidence. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Cozumel, our athletes pushed their limits, built lasting friendships, and created memories that will stay with them forever.

Inspiration

Top open water swimming coach, former competitive swimmer and modern pentathlete Miguel Vadillo is now sharing his remarkable stories of commitment and perseverance. In 2010 Miguel became the 44th person to swim across Lake Ontario Swimming in just a little over 18 hours. Since then, we have done a considerable amount of activities that helped the communities we live in, to become comfortable in and around water. With more to add as life goes on and experiences worthwhile sharing accumulate, we aspire to make this space useful to you.
