Meet Dave Randall: He Loves to Swim

By Karen Quartermain

August 5, 2021

Meet Dave Randall—he loves to swim. A veteran of the Windermere Solo, Dave took it on today for the sixth time. The very first time he completed a solo was with Dave Quartermain (DQ), and as fate would have it, DQ was back at the helm for this venture.

Dave set off really well but soon became overcome with cramp. As a regular sufferer, Dave stretched it off and focused on staying relaxed in his swim. A super strong swimmer with a wealth of experience, he completed the crossing in 5 hours and 58 minutes.

Well done, Dave! Cramp will not win.
