big thanks from us all
 to Aggora for there Very  kind  help &support 
Well done to Channel team expat member Rob who completed his 2 hour cold water Channel test swim yesterday in a cold endless pool in Bangkok!

Snow Time
it was 6 months to channel day 
If all official
we are swimming to France & back
27Th July to 31st July 2016
No Channel swim is complete
until  the Team Hoodies arrive 
Four of the Ricks Channel team joined up with our Perry Beeches Team Mates 
to have a go at Staffordshire County Championships  , just to see how winters training had gone the team won 32 gold medals ,
 52 medals in total..   

we are now really looking forward to get back into open water in few weeks , winters training has gone great, the team are flying in the pool ... but as we all know pool swimming and open water swimming are totally different...but what ever happens over the next few months its going to be FUN .!!

these are just  some of many swim sets with have done with Ricks and with our Masters team mates at Perry Beeches SSS swimming club. hope you may find them useful..., to help you  look through them we need a Ricks Blog Tune....it can only be one ..the unofficially channel anthem by Frank Turner - If Ever I Stray..enjoy the song and enjoy the swim sets . some of them are Fun..;-)
