2018 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year Nomination
The St. Lucia Channel Swim event was nominated for the 2018 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year by the World Open Water Swimming Association:
Whether a channel swim is 32.3 km (Catalina Channel), 33.8 km (English Channel), or 35 km (North Channel), any crossing over 30 km represents an epic distance and presents all kinds of challenges from currents and jellyfish to winds and waves. Nathaniel Waring, Sue Dyson and their colleagues on St. Lucia in the Caribbean Sea have organized a new warm-water channel swim for channel swimmers of all ages and abilities around the world. The 33.5 km (20.8-mile) between the island of St. Lucia in the south and the island of Martinique in the north in the Eastern Caribbean Sea’s Windward Islands that can be attempted year-round in addition to a race held in July that includes 1 km, 3 km and 5 km races and clinics. For creating a warm-water (25°C - 26°C) channel swim between volcanic islands with beautiful green mountains with Atlantic Ocean swells with dynamic conditions, for organizing an international event co-hosted by the Ministry of Tourism and the Department of Youth & Sports, and for establishing a swim that can become a warm water crossing that attracts top open water swimmers from around the world, the St. Lucia Channel Swim between St. Lucia and Martinique by Sue Dyson and Nathaniel Waring is a worthy nominee for the 2018 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year.
