His official training has started and as part of the training Agius will be swimming round Gozo for three consecutive nights on Monday 31 May in preparation for this new feat. This exploit is supported by Wave of Change, who are launching the Double The Wave Challenge, with a goal of collectively picking up 1 mil- lion pieces of plastic. As Agius is raising the bar, Wave of Change are also turn- ing it up a notch. They are onto a double mission – not only to collect plastic rubbish from our local areas, but also to encour- age physical activity in people's everyday lives. Neil raises the bar!
