The Plan today ..
double dip..
2 swims  around 45 to 50 minutes each
with 45 rest in between 



looks inviting at 7am on a Saturday morning !

it has to be said the swim route is not the best , 
but its the cold water we are after , 
so we just have to make do with it .
in between sea swim

87 DAYS TO GO..........
RICKS Four Way English Channel Relay 
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
