Monday 14th August saw a super wet day on Coniston and a very excited Sara taking on her longest swim to date. Coniston solo. 

Sara had been following a trusted training plan written by Coach K of Uswim Adventure. She had absolutely focused on these swims and was in the best swim shape ever. 

Sara was supported by Dave Q on the boat  and fed by 2nd swimmer of the day Neil , who was taking the wet weather in his stride. 

Sara had a  fabulous swimming, smiling most of the way , and deciding last minute to show off her front crawl. 

In a time of 3 hours and 48  minutes Coniston Solo was cracked.

Following on from a crewing experience. Neil Bates was super keen to get in the water. Sitting on a boat in torrential rain had taken its toll and Neil was beginning to feel cold. 

Cap and goggles on and in he went at the start of a training swim.

Due to the horrendous and consistent downpour the only picture captured that cam out was whilst Neil crewed. 

He knocked out a very impressive 2 hours 45 minutes. Neil has an English Channel Solo booked for 2024 , we are super excited to be supporting his journey.
