A Big shout out to must go to Beeches masters’ Legend Charlie Wheadon who, on Saturday, swam the new Marathon Swims Event , held in London at the Olympic Pool . Over 2000 swimmers took part on the day.  Charlie swam the 10k Marathon Distance and came a fantastic 5th overall. Although it was an interesting event (with head on smashes in the lanes!) Charlie thnks he will stick to the open water long distance events going forwards! Massive congratulations Charlie 🙂
