The reason was prosaic &#8211; we wanted to be in Africa for a moment. Being in a ferry, I wondered how long it would take me to swim across this strait.<br \/>\nYears later, and after crossing the Balaton, I was determined to swim it. However, I was unaware that upon registering your swim with ACNEG (The Gibraltar Straight Swimming Association \u2013 certifying swim across Gibraltar Strait) you have to wait for three years in a queue due to the number of applications, the weather and the fact that only one swim is allowed daily.<br \/>\nI was very lucky. During my June stay in Spain, I went to Tarifa &#8211; the starting point of the Gibraltar Strait swim as well as the headquarters of ACNEG. After speaking with the friendly Mr. Rafael &#8211; President of ACNEG, I was informed that maybe this year (2013) it would be possible &#8211; but not guaranteed &#8211; and only after payment of non-returnable administrative deposit (application and visa form).<br \/>\nRafael called me at the end of September and said that I could swim. I arrived in Tarifa and waited over a week for good weather, finally to be attached to British swimmers, since my swim time frame has passed. The Brits were fast swimmers (4km\/h) and at the beginning I was out of the breath trying to keep up with them, being afraid to be pulled out of the water as the slowest, since all swimmers had to cross together. In the second part of the swim Brits speed decreased and I become confident that I would make it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"tlg-spacer \" data-height=\"30\" data-height-tablet=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:30px;\"><\/div><div class=\"headings-title \"><div class=\"mb72 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-left\"><h5  class=\"widgettitle mb10\">Route<\/h5><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1495055940670{margin-top: -130px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"tlg-custom-embed  \"><iframe style=\"height: 500px;\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=36.000961%2C%20-5.609743%3Cbr%20%2F%3E%0APlage%20Dalia&amp;t=m&amp;z=10&amp;output=embed&amp;iwloc=near\" aria-label=\"36.000961, -5.609743&lt;br \/&gt;\nPlage Dalia\"><\/iframe><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5929&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;slideInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1494866187344{background-color: #1e73be !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;]<div class=\"display-table\"><div class=\"display-cell display-none-sm\"><i style=\"color:#ffffff!important;\" class=\"fade-color ms-text mr-24 ti-link icon\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"display-cell text-center-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"color:#ffffff!important;\" class=\"maintitle ms-text\">Learn More about ACNEG<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"color:#ffffff!important;\" class=\"subtitle\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"display-cell text-center-sm text-right\"><a style=\"color:#ffffff;background:#1e73be;border-color:#ffffff;\" id=\"btn-6aa41c2f1a9b8\" class=\"btn  btn-lg btn-sm-sm text-center mr-0 mb0 mt-xs-24\" href= \"http:\/\/www.acneg.com\/acneg%20association.html\" target=\"_self\" >More<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery('head').append('<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"tlg-custom-css-btn-6aa41c2f1a9b8\">#btn-6aa41c2f1a9b8:hover{color:#1e73be!important;background:#ffffff!important;border-color:#ffffff!important;}<\/style>');});<\/script>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1495056290432{margin-bottom: -140px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"headings-title \"><div class=\"mb72 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-left\"><h5  class=\"widgettitle mb10\">Galeria<\/h5><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5664&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6140&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5665&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6141&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5666&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5667&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/EpYAIpDQMDs&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I first visited the Strait of Gibraltar when I was a student, hitchhiking through&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5947","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
