The future of flying - and its former crowded past...
If the Multicabin® design really comes to fruition, there will be a lot of happy and more restful open water swimmers traveling internationally to their open water swims and channel crossings (across the Cook Strait, English Channel, Catalina Channel, Strait of Gibraltar, Tsugaru Channel, Molokai Channel, Travessia do Leme ao Pontal, Sea of Galilee, 20 Bridges Swim, International Self-Transcendence Marathon Swim, Lake Ontario, SCAR, etc.).
The elimination of the middle seat on international flights will be a greatly welcomed change. Imagine arriving to your destination not feeling groggy, fatigued, and totally jetlagged.
If there are channel swimmers from the Americas, Europe, or Africa interested in attempting a Cook Strait crossing in New Zealand, Air New Zealand will soon offer Skynest, the first sleeping pods in the sky for economy class passengers. Swimmers can catch a few very welcomed hours of restful sleep in a flat bed where six bunks are available for a fee.
The Skynest bunk beds will launch in 2024.
Of course, if money is not an obstacle, then swimmers can splurge with Lufthansa beginning in late 2023. For more information on this luxurious flying option, visit here.

Adherbal de Oliveira , President of the Leme to Pontal Swimming Association reported on another successful crossing from Leme to Pontal, Brazil. " More than a challenge, the 36 km Travessia do Leme ao Pontal in Brazil is a dream that many swimmers have. It motivates them to work hard for a long period of time and to one day be able to transform those dreams into an unforgettable reality. The swim that started at 1:29 am on March 17th was very special due to the characteristics of the swimmer who, as an amateur, needs to know how to reconcile his training series with family and work routines, as well as for everything that they had experienced during the Travessia do Leme ao Pontal. A challenge of 36 km in the Atlantic Oceans requires a long preparation with the fulfillment of tests with intermediate lengths that demand for many swimmers some years of dedication, focus and discipline. To complete a marathon, it is necessary to leave your comfort zone, leave that routine w
Adherbal de Oliveira , President of the Leme to Pontal Swimming Association reported on another historic day from Leme to Pontal, Brazil. He writes, " The morning of March 4th 2023 began with 35-year-old Eduardo Daniel Appoloni Rotela who became the first Uruguayan swimmer to attempt and complete the 36 km Travessia do Leme ao Pontal . We recently won fourth place in the annual WOWSA Awards in the Event of the Year category which highlights the events in the world that have most positively influenced open water swimming. Appoloni is a Certified Public Accountant and a former pool swimmer and basketball player who began his career in the open water in 2019. Since then, he has been accumulating experiences and skills. Appoloni is very disciplined and has become a brilliant swimmer who, together with his coach Jorge Mario Gnazzo Orrego, plans each of the challenges he faces step-by-step. After a year and a half of preparations, Appoloni arrived in Rio de Janeiro accompan
The 2023 SCAR Swim Challenge was another grand success. The brainchild of visionary Kent Nicholas [shown below] had won the 2022 World Open Water Swimming Event of the Year and had attracted a multi-faceted, multi-talented group of prolific marathon swimmers and their escort kayakers from around the world. Triple Crowners , Ice Milers , and swimmers who have set records and pioneered swims gathered in the warm desert of Arizona to compete in the 4-day, 4-lake SCAR stage swim . The event consists of four lake crossings, from dam to dam in Saguaro Lake , Canyon Lake , Apache Lake , and finally a night swim in Roosevelt Lake . The four lakes were created through a series of dams that created the reservoirs along the Salt River that flows through the State of Arizona. Nicholas wrote on the SCAR Facebook page , “ If we could dial in a perfect day at Saguaro, this was it. From water temp to air temp to low wind – it was good day to be at S.
