As we seem to be done for this year, here's the thread for next year's Swim the (length of the) Thames challenge. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/viewtopic.php?id=57021. This is the wiki http://www.fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=521. Sign up and I'll do the spreadsheet and start revealing the factoids during December.

2k in the pool this afternoon means I'm just under 7 miles away from the UK coast. Send help!

I haven't signed up yet but intend to do the 22 miles - I'll send a donation as I normally do, but I don't need the swim hat and gubbins.

As intimated by LazyDaisy on a different wire, the traditional dates for the ACS have been moved forward. It now takes place from 28 Jan to 22 Apr.

aspirechannelswim.co.uk

So I thought it must be time to remove the dust-covers and give this dusty old thread a Spring clean.

We could do this again.
