Noel: I thought preparing for the Big Swim would be hard going but to be honest I found it quite relaxing sitting in the sun on the beach at Ardmair taking pics of Norman. Just wish he'd swim a bit quieter so not disturb my peace.

Well it was a chilly 6k swim from Leckmelm down to Corry and back. The sea was perfectly calm and it was a great swim followed by a long hot bath and an afternoon kip. Tomorrow it is back to the same spot to do a 10k.

Well I just had my first swim after getting back from offshore. A rather chilly 2 1/2 hour swim along the Morefield-Rhue coast. I was really hungry and a bit tired at the end. I am looking forward to the swim in October.
