Peter Bithell's Longest Swim: Windermere Solo

By Karen Quartermain

July 19, 2021

On a very sunny Monday Peter Bithell set off from Fell Foot Park on his longest swim to date. Windermere Solo. Peter has been training hard for this swim, with laps and laps of Dock 9.

The sun shone and there was minimal wind. A super strong focused swimmer experienced no issues until the last couple of hours, when his shoulder started to twinge. This now being the longest he had swam, it was head down and carry on.

In a super impressive time of 5 hours and 5 minutes, he was met by lots of supporters who had been cheering him on all day. Well done Peter.
