Personal message

This is a Mad Swim organised by Madswimmers.com. The swim is scheduled for the 15-Novmber 2016 and I will be joining international swimmers from South Africa, Israel, Palestine, Jordan and USA and possibly other countries.

I have done plenty of mad swims all around the world. I met amazing people who share my passion to the Oceans and Water.

I always looked at the sea a connector of nations rather than a divider or a barrier.

This specific swim attracts me due to its “Impossible” aspect. It is a very dangerous swim that requires a lot of planning and tight logistics. The level of minerals in the Dead Sea is deadly. Drinking the water is extremely dangerous and one drop in the eye can blind you for a while. I just love these “IMPOSSIBLE” projects.   

The swim is there to promote peace in the region using the medium we love most - Water.
