On Saturday we were blessed with the most beautiful day for our annual 8 hour swim.
On behalf of all our members I would like to thank everybody who helped in any way
especially Gerard for supplying his beautiful boat and his assistants Jimmy and Mark.
Also I would like to thank Paul for supplying his boat which was used to ferry swimmers and friends during the day to and from the beach.A special mention should also go to Harry
for all his hard work in organizing another great day.Jonno will post photos from the day
on the web site shortly .The three 8 hour swimmers all pulled up well and we wish them all the success in England and New York in July .This is the Eleventh year that I have organized
this event and each year I say to myself that's it but when the dust settles I will be organizing next years swim .Good luck to Andrew V, Andrew k and Craig Chapman on their Channel
attempts and Ollie on his bid to win Manhattan .I have told Ollie he is not welcome back
in Australia without the trophy as he is heading back home to England after Manhattan.
Hope to see everybody back at training on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday mornings
at the baths.P.S it was great to see two new members abide by our only rule and swim without the cheat suits.

Massive thanks to all at Black Ice who were involved in organising and helping out on the 8 hour swim. Especially the guys who donated the boats, Yvonne for looking after my feeds and Jono and Eric for whipping me around the course. Gained alot of confidence from getting through this swim again and a real focus on what needs to be done over the next couple of months to get across the channel.
Thanks
Andrew K
