It was another great day for the Black-Ice Swimming Club with Chloe [overall winner and first female] and Jonno [first male] starring at the Brighton Baths Winter Mile. I’ll have more Black-Ice results when they come through.
Chloe is just warming up for her double assault on the Channel this year where we believe she will give Susie Maroney’s world record a good shake. Susie is by far our greatest marathon swimmer and we hope to have her as a guest on
“Swimmers' Profile.”
We also hope to have Murph Renford amongst our profiles soon. Murph is the son of swimming royalty, Des Renford. Des swam the English Channel 19 times!
Thank you to Harry and Cathy for a great night at their home recently with nearly all members in attendance.
Terry O’Brien is recovering well after his recent hip operation and we miss him in the water already. What we DON’T miss is his standard of driving on route to training!!
Kevin's English Channel attempt is only six weeks away. Anybody who knows Kevin will know that he has been training well and we believe he is ready to add his name to the wall of the White Horse Pub in Dover.
Quiz question this week: Who was chosen to play the role of Linda McGill (first Australian to swim the English Channel) in the life story about the Gold Coast marathon swimming legend?
P.S. I’m expecting a text message soon from the almanac, Kevin, after this posting.
