Congratulations to the Serpentine SC relay team who swam to France today 20 September. Starting at 04:30 on Saturday 20 September, the 'Gulls Gone Wild' team successfully reached France at approximately 19:46.
The team included English Channel solo swimmer Dani Lobo, and serial relay swimmer Alan Mitchell. There were some firsts with a big cheer for first time relay swimmers Volker Koch, Henry Fischel-Bock, Charlie Masding and teenager Alan Luckhurst.
Congratulations all for being both Channel Swim Standard and for completing the swim across the Channel.
Dani started from France and Volker had the honour of touching French soil, and he was accompanied by Alan Luckhurst as a safety swimmer when close to France.
Alan's next challenge is to find the open water swimming club at Southampton University where he starts this Autumn.
You can track their progress on the CS&PF tracker by searching for Paul Foreman's boat 'Optimist'
