Castle swim, a family affair

Well the Castle Swim is getting to be a regular thing now for me!

And this year my cousin Lorna joined me and her daughter Clare, first time long distant (ish) swim for both of them. So we had to celebrate afterwards, did try using our medals to get a discount on the bubbles, but no joy.....

We approached it as a challenge not a race, slow and steady, breast stroke all the way with the odd rest floating, think its 500 metres which is about 40 lengths.  We all felt that the first two thirds were fine then the last third was a push.  But we all did it, and arrived together.

Tempted to wear my medal to work today but restrained myself......
