ARE YOU READY TO BRAVE THE BOGUE?
The local name for the passage of water between Cayman Brac and Little Cayman is “The Bogue” and is the deepest inter-island channel in the Caribbean at over 4,000 feet deep. In 2021, a group of 16 Cayman Islands swimmers took on the challenge to swim across The Bogue while raising money for the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI). After a successful inaugural event that raised more than US $50,000 in support of CCMI’s conservation and education efforts, the organisers wanted to expand the experience, creating a whole weekend of activity to generate interest in the event, encourage travel to the Sister Islands, and raise money for a local environmental non-profit (CCMI).
Join CCMI’s Reef Relief Squad and swim this 5-mile stretch of water with us on 29 April 2023.
