JulesR Jun 2018 8:00pm, 24 Jun 2018 25,302 posts	0 JulesR 4 times a mile for me as part of a 24 hour open water relay at Loch Venachar - started 9am yesterday and finished 9am today swimming one mile laps on each hour. 3 people did the whole 24 hours which was a tough gig as only about 30 mins recovery after each swim before starting the next one. Conditions were fab besides a bit of chop in the first half and evil midges when the wind died down.
