| after two weeks of freakish British weather , it was a return to the normal April showers and cold wind for this Saturday`s open water swim.. Charlie , Ross and Stuart having a team meeting pre swim .. deciding how long to swim .. Decision one hour and NOOOO more |
while we were thinking about get in , our good friend Professor Smith ,
had no problems jumping into the chilly waters
at cliff lakes , the temp was said to be 14 degrees ..
however once you add in the 4 degree air temp and wind..
it felt a hell of lot colder ..
The Return Of Awesome Thorn
it was great to see Claire back in the water ..
as normal with Mrs T.. no messing about ..
straight in no worries
the swim today was the most difficult thing done by the team
as any open water swimmer will tell you
The Hardest part of any early open water swimming
season , is managing to pour the coffee post swim
whilst having a attack of the shivers ...

its Big Ricks 10th anniversary year
and we are doing our biggest team swim EVER
Now it's June, it’s three months to the day until we attempt
to be the 1st team ever from Great Britain
to swim four ways across the English Channel .
Paul, Ryan, Melanie ,Stuart , Charlie & Ross  |
The swim this year in aid of supporting the British Heart Foundation,
a charity really close to the foundation of the team, plus the Marine Conservation Society who are fighting the good fight against plastics
choking up our oceans. All funds raised will be
donated and split 50/50 between both charities.
If you have any pennies spare that you can donate,
it will make a real difference. Plus any support will give the team a boost
and will be keeping us motivated with all of the donations and messages
Many thanks for your amazing support
Big Ricks Swim Team
