All Out Swim

Macmillan Cancer Support 
All Out Swim 2016..
2nd October @ Cheltenham Lido 
The All Out Swim 
all smiles at 7.30am on a Sunday morning 

So today was Ricks last open water swim event of 2016
The Macmillan Cancer Support 5k All Out Swim .
What we love most about  doing this event every year  ,  is the community of people who get involved , the participants, the volunteers, the supporters. There’s a real ‘community’ feel to this event, and we always love being part of it .
Everyone always wants each person to do well, anyone struggling will always get a helping hand, and regardless of ability and where you are in your own personal journey, the atmosphere is a positive and generous one
as a community, as a group, All Out Swim has raised over £21,000 for Macmillan Cancer! A huge well did to my fellow participants,
.. see you next Year for sure …
