Barky, you're just showing off now
Jude, I did feel a bit wobbly when I got out at first but recovered quickly. Now I do feel like having a nap though I'm seeing much quicker progress in my swimming than running ever!

Tri Mikey
I am a fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care in the Midlands. I am considering organising a fundraising swimming challenge. I would target 10 teams to race against each other in a pool to either swim a set distance, for example the equivalent of the English channel or a set time, say 5 hours for example. Each team would consist of a max of 10 people including 3 females and be expected to raise a minimum of £1000 (thats only £100 each). There would be good prizes for the winners.
Please let me know your thoughts. Would you or your club be interested, how could I make it attractive, should I offer prizes for team raising most money or winning the event, would you be part of a fectch team etc.
Please feel free to fmail if you would like your comments to remain confidential. Please do help.

Barky - are you Phelps?
Please send me your top ten tips for getting faster over a mile. My current 'PB' (If you can call it that) is 43 mins. I didn't swim as a child as I'm allergic to chlorine. I have trained myself to deal with it by wearing a nose clip but my natural swimming ability although full of stamina, is lacking speed, big time. I can swim for 90 mins non-stop but it's not a very long way!

I had a lovely swim today
I did 60 lengths, a mixture of front crawl and back stroke, and no one else was using the section cordoned off for swimmers doing lengths
