Back To Headquarters

Black- Ice were back training at Black Rock today and will be for the next six months.

We have two new members swimming with us in Chloe and Bardy who have both set the bar very high. Bardy is attempting to become the oldest Aussie
to swim the Channel but he will have to wait a few years until he turns 67
years of age. Chloe who will attempt a double crossing of the Channel
next year to become only the second Aussie (along with Susie Maroney who still
holds the world record)
. Chloe is also planning to become the first
person, male or female, to swim Rotto three ways and we believe it has only been
done as a two-way by three swimmers. Good luck to Chloe as she will be in good hands
with Brian Taylor as her pilot. Brian and his crew have taken many Black Ice swimmers across to Rotto.

The Black Ice team were back to the favorite restaurant, The Watercress, with our host, Rebecca, offering a free coffee to the winner of our weekly question which was won by Jonno who guessed Rebecca's age!!

Any members who want cheap fuel, please see Kevin for more
details.

Next weeks question is name the song by the group Skyhooks
which has something in common with a dud swimmer today?

No, only joking, because I bet Kevin will text me with the answer before next Saturday.

Has Terry O'Brien found his keys yet? Did he swim back to Elwood to find them and my
Vaseline.

Will Angus Young of AC\DC swap his schoolboy outfit for some speedo's and join the real Black-Ice tour down at Black Rock where we sing underwater?
