The third La Caleta Bay Swim takes place on Saturday, 2 August. The event, which is organised by Adeje Ayuntamiento and the Anima2 Association, promotes healthy leisure activities and at the same time brings business and people to this coastal part of the borough. The 1,300m swim starts at 4.30pm and is part of La Caleta's fiesta programme. It has become a firm fixture in Adeje's sporting calendar, and the council's sports councillor Alonso Ferrera said "we have been delighted at the high levels of participation in previous years and the way the swim has been supported by residents of La Caleta, and how it has benefited the local economy."

The meeting place will be at the Plaza de La Caleta (C/ El Muelle and C/ del Varadero) at 2pm, where those registered to swim will get their chip and swimming cap (presentation of DNI/DNE is essential).  Participants will swim from La Enramada to Varadero beach, sea permitting. Swimmers between the ages of 6 and 12 years of age will swim 100 metres, those between 12 and 14 years of age swim 150 metres. Anyone who would like to take part can register up to 28 July, though there is a limit of 150 places. Interested swimmers can find the forms and information on www.adeje.es or on the comptetition site travesiacaletaadeje.blogspot.com. JA
