Beauty In Barbados
Courtesy of Kristina Evelyn, Barbados Open Water Festival. Kristina Evelyn is relentlessly passionate about the Barbados Open Water Festival, an open water swimming festival in Carlisle Bay in Barbados with 1.5 km, 5 km and 10 km races.
Evelyn describes the event, “We offer guided 2 km swims in Carlisle Bay followed by a social at the Copa Cabana Beach Bar on November 2nd. Then we have another guided 2 km swim at the Port St. Charles Yacht Club on the Upper West Coast on November 3rd, followed by a social at the Port St. Charles Luxury Yacht Club and a guided 2 km swim at Miami Beach on the South Coast, followed by another social at the famous Oistins Fish Fry on the 4th.
On the 5th, we have two 1.5 km swims: The Swim the Bay and The Just For Fun swim in the morning, and then open water swimming clinics in Carlisle Bay in the afternoon with an all-day beach party with DJ music. Copa Cabana is a great place to chill out, have some food, some drinks and enjoy the day.
On the 6th, we have the 5 km and 10 km Swim the Bay races as well as the 4-person 10 km relay. On the last day, we offer After Party Cruises on the Jolly Roger Party Boat and Cool Runnings Catamaran.
