Our Exhibitors & Sponsors
Sports have evolved so sports gear must evolve too. Amphibia is made by athletes for athletes.
From competing in a wide range of ‘alternative sports’ we noticed a few things missing that could make our lives and participation in these sports a little bit easier.
It needn’t be rocket science or terribly expensive just little improvements, smart ideas and a desire to make things easier.
The Big Blue is a Greek specialist swimming adventure holiday
taking you around the beautiful islands of the Ionian Sea, west of the Greek mainland.
Based in the picturesque green island of Lefkada, The Big Blue offers fully escorted open water swimming reaching as far as the legendary islands of Ithaca and Kefallonia. Positioned in a haven of 12 islands the sea swims combine unique scenery, untouched beaches, uninhabited islands, amazing coastlines, secret caves, clear turquoise water and the Greek ‘Delphinus Delphis’ dolphin, making the island-to-island crossings and coastal routes an unforgettable experience. We have extensive local knowledge of the area and the 7-day programme of diverse scenic swims combined with local culture, food, accommodation and relaxation, offer an experience we believe is unrivalled in the Greek isles. Whether you are a hardy, experienced swimmer or a more relaxed ‘amateur’ what we have to offer is indulging, challenging and memorable.
Swim the Costa Brava promotes open water swimming holidays in Catalonia and the Balearic islands, as well as the acclaimed Costa Brava Swim.
A huge number of last year's participants highly praised the swim.
Cultural activities are intrinsic to all our packages.
We offer close and customised tours as well as intimate local knowledge, because we are Catalans.
Swim the Costa Brava is looking for new market opportunities to carry out new projects and strengthen relationships.
We are dynamic and experienced in the field of active- and sports tourism.
