Check out “Secret Swims” and “Swim the Costa Brava”
See swimthecostabrava.com, they have an interesting open water swimming event coming up in 76 days (21-22 September 2012), and regular “Secret Swims” training sessions every Saturday and Sunday.
This season our technical team offers all open water lovers the possibility to indulge in a different type of training in the most spectacular spots off the beaten track of the Catalan coast.
Secret Swims are born out of this philosophy. “Secret†in this context means that, on the one hand, training takes place in uncrowded and secluded spots, and, on the other hand, the swimming location is not disclosed to the participants until the very same day of the activity.
These sessions are designed for swimmers who not only enjoy every single stroke but also delight in the beauty of the surroundings. Thus, on the day of the training we will make several stops to take pictures and have a snack in spots accessible only through swimming.

31-year-old Thorpe thinks of himself as a 26-year-old athlete
Read Hürriyet Daily NewsUpon a question about how he felt while swimming, Thorpe said he did not consider himself 30 years old in sport because of the four years of retirement, in which he did not compete in any races. Rather, he said he thought of himself as a 26-year-old athlete.
“I kind of take the four years off that I did not have the wear and tear on my body like the other swimmers have had because I was not swimming during the time,†Thorpe said, adding that he had swum socially during the four years but had not trained at a professional level.
