Sustainability
01 July 2024

As Deniz Kayadelen, Adalvo’s Brand Ambassador, prepares for her upcoming swim across the Catalina Channel on July 21st, we are reminded of the immense mental and physical challenges she faces.

Perseverance and Mental Toughness

Training for a swim like the Catalina Channel requires more than physical strength. It demands a deep well of mental resilience. Deniz’s journey involves countless hours of preparation, not just in the water but in her mind. The mental fortitude required to swim long distances, especially at night, cannot be overstated.

Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

Swimming the Catalina Channel presents unique challenges, particularly the fact that much of the swimming occurs at night. The darkness can be disorienting and intimidating. However, Deniz embraces this as an opportunity to step out of her comfort zone. By facing these fears head-on, Deniz shows us that growth happens when we push beyond our familiar boundaries.

Facing Fears and Risk Management

Swimming at night in the open ocean comes with inherent risks. Deniz’s approach to risk management is meticulous and well-planned. She and her team conduct thorough assessments, prepare for various scenarios, and ensure all safety measures are in place. This careful preparation enables her to face her fears confidently and minimizes risks, allowing her to focus on the swim itself.

Raising Awareness for Clean Water

Deniz’s swims are not just personal achievements; they are part of a broader mission to raise awareness about the global water crisis. Millions worldwide lack access to clean drinking water, a cause that Deniz is deeply passionate about. By supporting charity: water, an NGO dedicated to providing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries, Deniz uses her platform to make a tangible difference.
