Sharks

A large shark was sighted swimming around Cerberus on Wednesday at Half Moon Bay Black Rock so beware. Just when we have nearly seen the last of the Jellies along comes a shark, so we have too ban Yvonne from swimming because she always attracts them. Also when I return from my holiday I will call a meeting re the Black Ice relay team across the English Channel which is gaining a lot of response.

Looking forward to 2010 as our group will have two top line swimmers from Qld joining us for our annual 8 hour swim on Anzac day - and Ollie is back from England.

Lisa Cummins the superstar from Ireland may be in Melbourne later this year to join us for a swim. Lisa is a national hero who broke the world record in becoming the 1st person to swim the Channel both ways without attempting a solo.After 35 hours in the water she made it across landing 40 kms from Dover and smiled the whole way. I was lucky enough to meet and swim with Lisa last year and I love her attitude - a true champion with no fuss or fanfare. Read her story on swimmers profile alongside other successful female double Channel swimmers like Alison Streeter, Marcy McDonald and Anne Cleveland.
