A big well done to Claire Thorn who took part in the Open Water SwimBritain event at Blenheim Palace on Sunday 1st September. Wetsuits were compulsory, but Claire looks very happy in this photo taken of her and her team after they had swum. Well done to all.
The GulliverJones team (aka Andrew, Katie, Becky Gulliver and their adopted sister Jessica Jones) swam against the Powellinators (aka the Powell family – Jason, Jenny, Thomas and Max) at Saturday’s fun family event at Coventry pool.
Organised by SwimBritain to encourage more people to swim together. Both teams did well, and came second and third respectively (the team who came first included a commonwealth games hopeful from Coventry). They all thoroughly enjoyed the day, and also had the opportunity to meet Ellie Simmonds, who signed all of their medals for them.
Keep your eyes and ears open, as the event will hopefully run again next year.
