Personal message

The Madswimmers are doing it again!

The Keiskamma River is a river in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. The river flows into the Indian Ocean in the Keiskamma Estuary, located by Hamburg Nature Reserve, near Hamburg, midway between East London and Port Alfred

The swim route will be along the Keiskamma River over 2 days on 6 and 7 April 2019 (about 20km per day) from the village of Hamburg to the R72 bridges

We will be supporting a few local charities on our platform. Please support this worthy cause benefiting and uplifting children in need!
