Masters Swimming

Joining the masters swimming team at the renovated and expanded Stade Nautique Jean Bunoz in Antibes, France.

The Idiot was a member of  the masters swim team in Antibes between 1984-2004 and two members joined him when he swam across the Hellespont during his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea. That adventure is recounted in The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean.

One new 50-meter pool at the Antibes swimming complex has been completed (this is where The Idiot is working out this week) and a second (see the crane?) is scheduled to be swim-ready in December.

About Joel

Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
