Alex White and Jemima Howe descended onto Leamington spa to complete their 10km swims and after an unfortunate start having to swim the 1st 1,800m in an outdoor pool, we both eventually finished dead on 9pm- after a 4 hour and 20 minute gruelling swim. We were joined by co-leader Tamsin who also completed her 2km alongside us. All the others have completed their assigned distance. So a very big thank you to them who have now made it possible for us to swim the channel- here we come france!!!!
