Training swims are a go go go !!!
June was a busy couple of weeks of Milestone training swims. With several swimmers setting themselves targets in preparation for their English Channel swims later in the season. On Monday 26th June Ashley Seymour returned to Windermere with a target of 10 hours swimming. With mum on board to learn feeding regime and talk all things Channel crewing, it was an extremely valuable swim.
Finalising feed plan, learning that when the going gets tough the swim continues. A fantastic swim with only a few moans and groans here and there.
Tuesday 27th saw Graham Hadfield take on a 2 Way Ullswater. Again this swim was his final swim before his English Channel Tide window opened. With just a couple of weeks to go , these swims were perfectly timed to ensure it allowed for rest and recovery to be on top form for when the call came.
7 hours and 15 minutes later and Graham had competed his 22km swim. With chop and side winds and a temp of 17 degrees this was a fabulous swim to get under his trunks.
