Michelle Muscat has completed her Gozo to Malta swim, arriving at Cirkewwa at 5.58pm. She swam the channel to raise funds for the Marigold Foundation and the Malta Special Olympics team.

The Prime Minister’s wife started her journey in Qala and was escorted by rescue boats to Comino. There she was joined by swimmers from the Malta Special Olympics team and together they swam for Cirkewwa. 

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and his children welcomed Mrs Muscat on her arrival at Cirkewwa. He tweeted the picture above.

 

Mrs Muscat trained for the event for a number of months but it was feared that the event would be cancelled at the last minute because of the high winds and rough sea.
