The 18 degrees cold… winter months are already behind us here
in Cyprus and as we are moving into warmer spring days, we would
like to thank all our swimming friends that have chosen to train
in Cyprus with ARENA DMC & Sports Division in the outdoors 50m-Coral
Olympic Pool in the first 3 months of 2006
 
Looking back in the middle of February when even in Cyprus temperatures
could hardly climb over 16 degrees in the early 06:30 morning sessions,
it was a spectacle indeed to watch the
28 degrees warm, Coral Olympic Pool literally steaming!!!
 
More of a spectacle (for us at least) were of course the hundreds
of young swimmers and triathletes from the UK, Germany, and Scandinavia
who (in contrast with us shivery & heavily dressed Cypriot-ARENA
Team members) looked extremely comfortable in their suits and not
troubled at all to swim in the 28 degrees warm pool.
 
A “fully loaded” breakfast to come either in the luxurious
5 star Coral Beach Hotel & Resort or at the category A Paphos
Gardens Apartments in the town of Paphos, was of course a big treat
and motive for swimmers & coaches alike and by then temperatures,
with the exception of a few days, were already hitting the 20’s
giving all our friends the opportunity to think of their afternoon
sessions relaxing & tanning by the leisure pool.

Well we do hope you have all enjoyed our island and training facilities
and we hope to see more of you soon.
The ARENA Team
