Nevis To St Kitts Race, 2026 (Photo Diary)

By Jack Hudson , 04 May, 2026

Another year gave us another epic crossing in the Caribbean Sea between two tropical islands…

This year, more than 500 swimmers gathered from 41 different countries around the world, united to take part in the 25th anniversary Nevis To St Kitts Cross Channel Swim.

The event was bigger than ever before, attracting brave newcomers, experienced sea swimmers and even Olympians, like Alice Dearing. All of them ready to adventure together across the 4.1km Narrows, between the islands, keeping their eyes peeled for turtles and rays on the seabed as they went.

Below you will find a selection of photos from the very talented Abe Noad, who was also in attendance. Get ready for vivid blue skies, warm Caribbean waters, swooning palms and the world's biggest swim-grins!

'SwimTrek provided the bridge between an idea and a reality. I didn't think I would ever be able to accomplish an open water event like this until I looked into them... I have created lifelong memories through my cross-channel swim!' - Stephanie (USA)

Who could resist such infectious, salt-induced energy and happiness? We’re so thrilled to be a part of making fresh dreams come true each year with this bucket list crossing, which links the two islands that make up the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

We want to say a massive congratulations to all involved! And, here’s to making 2027 even bigger than the last few years – you can pre-register now to take on this momentous challenge.
