Carlos Peña, it is not easy to describe him and his relationship with water and mother nature, an accomplished activist from Tolosa (Guipúzcoa), an amateur athlete with brands and feats of an elite professional and a person who is extremely involved with any action that defends the environment and the peace. Surely we leave other characteristics outside of this definition, but it is quite close to the human profile of this phenomenon.
He began as an athlete in his youth, but due to an injury he had to leave, always very active sportingly speaking, he decided that he should do something else and instead of summer vacations in Lodosa (Navarra), he decided to swim in the Ebro. its beginnings to what it is today. Since 1989 Carlos Peña, always swimming, driven by some social motive in places such as seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, straits, pools, bays, etc., knowing closely the wonders and dangers of such wild environments. More merit if possible, since it is an amateur athlete with feats of a professional.
Most of the time he has been accompanied by friends and volunteers, on several occasions with the collaboration of local and international organizations and others, at least, by government entities.
