All Out Swim Cheltenham
14th October 2017

Ricks  love doing the Macmillan Cancer Support  swim ...
its just the best atmosphere at any swim we are lucky enough to take part in  
The support & encouragement  for every swimmer that takes part is so  lovely
to see.....it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you swim , 
all that matters is that you took part ..
