Tyrolean swimmer Lena Opatril is currently working as a teacher on the island of Zanzibar for four weeks. How this came about, what subjects she is teaching, who her new "training partners" are and when she will continue her swimming career.

Spice island instead of winter in Tyrol, school lessons instead of training in the indoor pool. Multiple World Championship and European Championship participant Lena Opatril is currently taking a break from swimming and fulfilling a long-cherished wish on the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania.
