A beaconing ensures sports practice to the hundreds of swimmers who choose Mazarrón for their training |
Mazarrón has a swimming channel in open water 100 meters long and 6 meters wide on the beach of Puerto de Mazarrón.
The coastal municipality is once again a pioneer in the Region of Murcia with this facility that hundreds of swimmers already enjoy on beaches in other autonomous regions such as Valencia and the Balearic Islands.
The channel has been inaugurated by the swimmer Margarita Domínguez, champion of Spain and runner-up of the World in Open Water.
Dominguez has praised the idea that the City of Mazarrón has materialized "since it will make the swimmer forget the boats and can practice their sport at their own pace and without the need of the inconvenience caused by the traditional buoy that they usually use in the open sea. "
With this initiative, Mazarrón joins other coastal municipalities in other regions such as Valencia or the Balearic Islands where other swimming channels have already been launched.
The mayor of Mazarrón, Alicia Jiménez, stressed that "this is a new commitment that the current government team makes to water sports, taking advantage of a collected and urban beach to offer facilities that after the summer will be extended in length".
The sports clubs have also congratulated the City Council "for the implementation of an initiative that responds to one of the demands that was made to the Department of Sports," as pointed out by Pedro Lorite, president of the Bahía de Mazarrón Club.
In the same line, María José Montesinos, of the Murcia Master Swimming Club has expressed herself.
On the other hand, the Councilor for Sports, Patricio Sánchez, has emphasized the importance of Mazarrón being a place chosen for the practice of different sports with the consequent benefit that this brings to the municipality. "
Mazarrón has become, in recent years, a place of reference for professional and amateur swimmers.
The crossings to swim the island or as the one that will take place in Bolnuevo in September claim the attention of hundreds of lovers of this sport who see in the conditions of the Bay of Mazarrón ideal for sports.
Likewise, the municipality is home to the swimming trial of the Fuente Álamo Triathlon that last May celebrated its XXIX edition.
