On a sunny sunday in Coniston, Rick Pulvertaft entered the water, the goal a 6 hour qualifier. With a sudden drop in temperature with all the recent rainfall, 13.8 degrees was the recorded temp. Full of the beans and fired up with a couple of cans of red bull Rick started his swim day.
The forecast was blowy so we chose to keep a more sheltered loop for Rick and use the time to take over his feeding plan and provide stroke assessment providing focus throughout.
With DQ on the boat and myself and Francine on the boards Rick had great support, with me jumping into to give him a final spurt on.
A fantastic strong swim, with great improvements seen. Looking forward to his English Channel journey.
