Renee's Marathon Swim
By Karen Quartermain
September 2, 2022
It was fantastic Friday and we started at Fell Foot with a very nervous Renee who was about to embark on her longest swim ever. Renee loves the open water and had set herself the challenge last year, following a training plan in the final months to ensure a smooth build up.
Renee instantly won the crew over with a tub of homemade pumpkin pie and cream. Lush.
Windermere played nice and apart from a swan that was taking over the guiding job towards the end, this swim was smooth. At each feed, a little piece of Windermere history was delivered and off she went.
6 hours and 38 minutes Renee had earned her golden cap. An awesome swim!
