A bit of rain added to the day at Serps when the race distance was a reasonable 440 yards.
Congratulations to Wendy Trehiou, the Jersey-based swimmer who came to Serps. Wendy completed a two-way swim of the English Channel this week, spending a little over 39 hours in the water. This was also the same week a few years back when Capt Matthew Webb became the first swimmer to swim solo from England to France across the English Channel.
Another couple who will remember 24 August, not just for the 1875 feat of Capt Webb, are Sakura Hingley and Nick Adams who were married today in the chapel at Eton College. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Adams.
There were prizes for quite a few swimmers today, with Ian Stuttard kindly sponsoring the nice gifts. Clare who won today had first choice. Honourable handicapper Mark Fabik was the 'best man' - finishing second - and he was followed by Ted, Stuart, Jaki and Mike. Prizes were presented by Brian.
A pleasant day enjoyed by all.
