Look what I got....

Look what I got today.....

The Sandwell Lifesaving and Channel Swimming Club (based at Swan Pool in Walsall) have an cup, awarded annually, for the longest swim by one of its members, and my 16 hours and 9 mins in the Channel took the prize this year! There is a pleasing symmetry to "the long swim" winning "the longest swim", and I couldn't be more delighted.

And well done to Ali Longman, who won the "swimmer of the year" award this year for her all-round fantastic performances and hard training.
