Big Ricks Team have been challenged..!!

Well it seems like Big Ricks Team have been challenged ..!!!, Well i love a challenge ,as  do most , especially in this Team...!!!   

.see attached email from The Swimming Times.Editor...

 

well i  see in this month's edition that a team of six is chasing an
"unofficial" record for a six-person team with an average age over 40.

years.....

I am sure we have a statistician who'd know the answer, but at the
risk of causing upset to what is, in any case, a very worthy cause,
I'd throw in the 9hr 40 of the Lido Legends, August 2005 (Seafarer,
Chris Osmond) as one swim that clearly beats the record.

The average age of the team was 45 and would have been much higher if
it were not for the youthful Emma France. With other ladies from the
team being correspondents on this group, a full listing of ages is
available only by private email should documentary proof be requested!

So, can anyone beat that?

If not we'll hang on to the record until further notice then....
I’m sure they will see it if you put some sort of reply in the piece in Swimming Times

Thanks

Peter

Well that's the new target 9 hours 40 minutes...hopefully we have the same perfect  dead calm conditions  the 

Lido Legends

  experienced on their Channel swim in 2005, if that's the case, i,m sure big ricks team will be very close to that time....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  .
