I swam 5 kilometres with no wetsuit, Jessica swam 2.5 k in a bikini, Nic and Rob swam 6 kilometres each and shared a wetsuit between them. It was really fun. </p>

I have been hoping to do a long distance outdoor swim for a while so feel really excited. I will swim in Clevedon Tidal Pool with my friend Nic. He will be swimming 6 kilometres so there is an outside chance I will accompany him all the way but 4k seems quite a stretch already! We are as yet undecided about how macho we will be about wearing wetsuits. </p>
