The swim itself crosses the “Narrows,” a strait that separates not only St Kitts from Nevis, but also the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean, making this a unique ocean swim. The Naturalistic Island of Nevis is a perfect blend of vividly green with Blue Skies, Clean air and long empty beaches. It has a gentle pace of life that encourages visitors to stop and appreciate the natural beauty around them.
