Atlas Insurance will be once again supporting local swimmer Neil Agius as he gears up for another world record attempt, challenging himself to swim 160km by circling the Maltese Islands.
CEO and Managing Director of Atlas Insurance Matthew von Brockdorff highlighted that Atlas remains inspired by the swimmer’s drive “to push his limits and be a champion for ocean advocacy.”
Mr Agius’ effort marks a significant milestone in both his career and his dedication to ocean conservation.
His announcement came last week, where it was revealed that the second attempt at breaking the record will take place in the second half of September.
Last year, the ultra-endurance athlete attempted to swim in Spanish waters but was forced to stop after encountering a swarm of jellyfish off the coast of Mallorca.
During that time, Atlas Insurance and Mr Agius collaborated on a number of initiatives to support his attempt at carrying out the world-record swim.
He was also the face of Atlas’ brand campaign, “embodying the values of determination and endurance, and underlining the importance of having a trusted team of people supporting his endeavours.”
Mr von Brockdorff further highlighted that extending support to Mr Agius is a decision based on many facets.
“We want to set an example out there that joining the Wave of Change is a continuous effort. This is also the approach we strive to adopt as we seek to make a lasting positive impact through our partnership,” he continued.
He concluded by stating that in supporting the athlete for the second time, Atlas wishes to keep promoting the values within its company and the wider community.
