We have just added a fourth boat, the Louise Jane II, to this year’s club Channel Relays:
• Connemara, skippered by Kevin Sherman CSA, for the neap tide on Friday 19th July.
• Connemara, skippered by Kevin Sherman CSA, for the neap tide on Sunday 20th.
• Gallivant, skippered by Mike Oram CS&PF, 27th September to 4th October, position 2.
• Louise Jane II, skippered by Andy King CSA, 29th September to 4th October, position 1.
If you would be interested in joining the team for this epic sim of a life time let us know.
The twenty and half mile crossing will be swum one hour at a time by each member; e.g. one hour swim then a rest while the other members take their turn. Last year’s successful swims took just over 12 hours. Swimmers must have some experience of sea swimming and be able to manage at least one mile in 40 minutes.
The aims of the Relays are to:
• Support the sport of cold water swimming.
• Raise money for the chosen charity.
• Promote the Brockwell Swimmers club.
• Empower the individual swimmer and the team.
