Swims
The weather was unkind to us last week resulting in the postponement of 2 swims. Round 7 of the World Series was to take place last Wednesday but high winds delayed the swim until last Monday eve. Also The Blennerville to Fenit Swim was postponed until Saturday 13th September again due to wind.
