Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

We were very disappointed not to have been able to play this year, but we had been invited to Holyrood for a garden party hosted by the Duke of Edinburgh to celebrate J's Gold DofE Award instead.

We'll be a definite maybe for next year. :)

In case folks have not seen my blog today - I'm trying to build up our OWS listings:

fetcheveryone.com/blog/3/2023/7/469889

Before today, we had 48 swims listed for 2023 - we're now up to 154. The more the merrier.

Finally!! So good to hear this. :)
When I worked in Cardiff they seemed like a permanent fixture. Nobody imagined what would happen in the next half dozen years nor how long it would take to put right.

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
