Tuesday 13th September, saw this beautiful couple changing a negative into a positive and completing their challenge together. Originally a Windermere solo was the plan for Ian and Claire on consecutive days, however Covid struck again . Wondering whether they had recovered enough and a tad nervous, we discussed a relay swim instead of a cancellation and it was a yes.

Claire was first in  and what a beautiful day it was, perfect conditions which calmed the nerves instantly. Ian was next in, still not a fan of ditching the wetsuit he got into his rhythm and completed a good solid hour.  The couple rotated hourly swims and in a superb time of 6 hours and 35 minutes they walked out of the end together.
