A 30km swim. Q&A with Alejandro: fear of deep water, training and open-water tips

​woowoo is a sports club that helps normal people do extraordinary things, from your first run, all the way through to ultra challenges.

​Introducing Alejandro - a member of the woowoo crew.

​We recently met and filmed his 30km ultra swimming marathon challenge, Ultra Ebre, in Spain.

​The swimmers go down river from Tivenys to Amposta. They have kayak support for food, drinks, safety along the way - but they are not allowed to use them to float.

​How do you end up signing up for something like that?
How do you train for a 30km swim?
How is it spending 5-7 hours constantly swimming?
Fear of deep water and swimming? They don't go hand-in-hand!

​

​He'll give you all those answers and more.

​About Alejandro:
He’s been swimming his whole life, competed in finswimming at National level, been the Champion in Spain for finswimming, and most recently, completed a 30km ultra endurance challenge.
