We are happy to announce that the North Surf Lifesaving Club
are to add Black Ice to their links. Hopefully, we will have some
type of reciprocal rights with this great club. Warwick, who
is one of our interstate Black Ice members is also a member at North Bondi.
Also, I believe that the observer on John Jameson's recent attempt across the Channel was posted on You Tube. Google search it and it plays for about three minutes. It has an interesting finish.
After 133 years, the 1,000th person successfully crossed the English
Channel. I have been reading a lot of the failed swimmers excuses and, once
again, the majority of them said they didn't have enough body fat.
When attempting the English Channel or any other distance swim, you must cover every
base and listen to the experts. Gather every bit of information you can get.
Work on your weaknesses, whether it's bilateral breathing, swimming at night, your body weight or feeding etc......don't leave a stone unturned. Always keep
plenty in reserve just in case you miss the tide or you have an injury.
I always say, the first question people ask is "Did you make it"? not what time you
swam. If it takes another hour or so, big deal. It's only one day in your life.
It's just like going to school and learning for a few years then sitting that final
exam. It's no different with swimming long distances, you must be PREPARED
NO EXCUSEs, it's you verses the water.
P.S Dover are on top of the ladder and have made it to the third round of the FA cup, so get on board and support The Whites.
