Andy Donaldson on Hvar - World Record Holder and Ambassador of Ultra Swimming 33.3!

This year, the island of Hvar had the pleasure of welcoming a very special guest, Scottish-Australian open water swimmer Andy Donaldson, a world record holder and the only person to complete all Oceans Seven channel swims in under a year. His achievements inspire swimmers and adventurers worldwide, and Hvar was proud to be part of his journey.

Andy visited the island as the official ambassador of the Ultra Swimming 33.3 competition, which is now being held on Hvar for the second year in a row, bringing together elite swimmers from around the globe.

As a partner of the event, we had the opportunity to personally meet Andy and spend a few unforgettable days with him. We showed him some of our favourite corners of the island, took him on the kind of trips we usually offer our guests, and shared with him the true essence of Hvar, untouched nature, authentic villages, and the unique island spirit that can’t be explained, only experienced.

Thank you, Andy, for your inspiration, positive energy, and the powerful message you carry, we look forward to crossing paths again!
