Congratulations
to the 14 Dolphin swimmers who took part in the sponsored swim at
on Sunday morning to help raise money for the warm weather, high altitude, training
camp in
in April.
The
aim of the swim was to cover the distance of a double ‘Channel Crossing’ (44 miles
in total) in less time than the current world record for a relay team, which stood
at 18 hours and 59 minutes.
The
Dolphin group achieved their goal by completing the task of just over 45 miles in
a cumulative time of 18 hours and 53 minutes (1 hour and 21 minutes per swimmer).
Special
thanks goes to Liam
Tubb for a fine swim having stepped in as an eleventh
hour replacement and
all those who helped support this fundraising initiative.
Next
time it’s the Channel for real for this team !!
