From the 13th to the 17th of December 2021, British long-distance swimmer Adam Walker held a 5-day swimming program at Summer Island Resort. During the course, Adam demonstrated his novel swimming tactics that enabled him to become the first British person to accomplish the Ocean’s Seven challenge.

The Ocean’s Seven Challenge, which spans 206 kilometers and includes the English Channel and the Strait of Gibraltar, tests swimmers’ endurance at seven challenging open water swims, and is regarded as the most difficult 7 ocean swim in the world. Adam was the first British individual to complete this feat. Guests were able to put their swimming skills to the test with Adam’s skilled supervision. The swim course included theory, technique, and a lot of practice in Summer Island’s gorgeous lagoon.

“I do many swim camps around the world, but nothing beats coming to Summer Island Maldives. We are always treated like family by Mari and her team, and I always look forward to coming back. The campers absolutely love it”, said Adam.

Summer Island’s Resort Manager Mari Shareef said: “It is always an exciting time for us when Adam is on the island. The swimming camps have become an annual fixture, but we had to take a break because of Covid-19. We are glad to restart the swimming camps again.”
