Maltese Swimming In The Heart Of the Mediterranean

The Birkirkara St. Joseph team swam around the entire Maltese archipelago (excluding the island of Filfla due to Maltese Maritime Law), which lies centrally located in the Mediterranean Sea, 93K south of Sicily.

The annual Gozo-Malta Open Water Swimming Challenge offers swimmers the opportunity to swim the short channel between Gozo and Malta.
This year, the Birkirkara St. Joseph Sports Club is stepping up the challenge as more and more foreigners flock to the islands to train. In addition to the 5K one-way race, there will be new 11K two-way crossing from Malta to Gozo and back to Malta on August 21st, the Malta-Gozo-Malta Open Water Swimming Challenge 2010.
As generous hosts, the Birkirkara St. Joseph Sports Club is offering training sessions and inexpensive accomodations for visitors.
Great open water swimming opportunities for those who wish to swim in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
