The first records date to 1927,<\/strong> when the English swimmers Mercedes Gleitze and Miss Hudson<\/strong>, tried the crossing from Tangier to Gibraltar. Obviously they didn\u2019t achieve their goal, the route they selected was not the most appropriate. A year later, Mercedes Gleitze tried again from Tarifa (Spain), reaching the coast of Morocco in 12 hours 50 minutes.<\/p>\n Thus, in the beginning the crossings were made by a few daring swimmers,<\/strong> helped by local fishermen themselves and the navy. In the 80s, a group of locals lead by our honorary president Rafael Guti\u00e9rrez Mesa<\/strong>, began to collaborate with the Red Cross to accompany swimmers, who like Mercedes and Miss Hudson, tried to cross the Strait of Gibraltar<\/p>\n Swimmers interest in cross the straights was increasing, and the group of locals reflected on the importance that the swim was acquiring and concluded that an organization was needed similar to other associations such as the Channel Association (CSA)<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.16.1″ background_color=”#163242″ custom_margin=”0px||” custom_padding=”0px|0px|54px|0px|false|false” prev_background_color=”#f7F7F7″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|26.8281px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.16.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_code _builder_version=”3.16.1″ custom_padding=”4px||”]
