St. Kitts Tourism Authority has announced that the Nevis to St. Kitts Cross Channel Swim is set to celebrate its 24th anniversary on 29 March 2025.
The iconic 2.5-mile (4.1 km) swim challenge, which crosses the scenic waters between the Caribbean sister islands of Nevis and St. Kitts, draws swimmers of all abilities from around the globe.
Participants will be able to experience the beauty of the Caribbean destination while supporting important environmental and social causes.
International visitors can enjoy some downtime on the islands before and after the event by booking an accommodation and swim-entry package with SwimTrek (https://www.swimtrek.com/).
Swimmers can compete in this open water race or participate in a more leisurely swim using fins. Starting at Oualie Beach in Nevis and ending at Spice Mill Restaurant in Cockleshell Bay, St. Kitts, the event promises to be a thrilling experience for all involved.
This inclusive approach ensures that everyone, from elite athletes to recreational swimmers, can participate in this one-of-a-kind event.
Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Urban Development, Marsha Henderson, said:
“We are proud to support the Nevis to St. Kitts Cross Channel Swim – a thrilling event that showcases our islands’ natural beauty and the determination of its participants.
“This swim has become a symbol of our vibrant tourism scene, drawing visitors and athletes from around the world, and firmly positioning St. Kitts as a premier destination for unique and unforgettable experiences.”
Visitors who’d like to combine the swim with a few days experiencing these destination highlights can book a four-day/three-night package, 27 – 30 March 2025.
The SwimTrek package includes entry to the cross-channel swim, transfer from the airport in St. Kitts to the hotel on day one, and three nights’ accommodation at either the Royal St. Kitts or the St. Kitts Marriott Resort on St. Kitts.
Also included is breakfast on days two and four, a pre-race welcome lunch, an acclimatisation swim and boat tour of the swim route, a race day transfer, a post-race celebration dinner on day three, a finisher’s medal, and event merchandise, including a tow-float to take home.
