The Cadiz Freedom Swim

The Cadiz Freedom Swim is considered to be one of the toughest, most extreme long distance cold water sea swim races in the world - 7.5km across the famous Robben Island channel, known for its bitterly cold water (around 13 - 14 degrees) and strong, unpredictable currents.

The Cadiz Freedom Swim raises funds for the Vista Nova School for children with special learning needs, based in Cape Town.

The race begins from the shores of Murray's Bay on Robben Island, and ends on the beach in Big Bay, Bloubergstrand.

Dates:
The Cadiz Freedom Swim 2009 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 25, 2009, from 10am to 3pm. If conditions are not conducive the swim will be postponed to Sunday, April 26, 2009, from 10am.
