Expired Messina Strait Crossing July 19 2017

You'll swim from Messina, Sicilia Via Fortino in Sicily, to Cannitello, Calabria in Italy with strong currents in your favor. Water World Swim Italy's Coach Alessandro "Ale" Gottardis will be at your side. With water at 73-77 degrees Fahrenheit, you can shed that wetsuit and soak up the blue Mediterranean - and the delicious food and wine in the region! You'll get a finisher's medal, t-shirt, WWS membership ($325 value) and a certificate of completion.

Your fee includes coaches, safety support, vessel, and permits - all that is needed for the swim itself. It does not include any of your travel, accommodation, or meal costs.  Your registration is non-refundable.

Paid & registered swimmers must provide the following via email to coachpedro@waterworldswim.com after payment:

1. A copy of your passport
2. A scan of a passport-style and sized photo
3. Fill out the International Application (does not need to be emailed, but is filled out and submitted online) Items 1-3 above can be submitted via this application rather than in a separate email.
