The Boy Done Good


Lorcan's distinctive straight arm recovery - I often see this flying past me at a rate of knots
Still my favourite picture of him

Yet again I get to write a congratulatory post on here. This time it is for 17-year-old Lorcan ‘Piglet’ Rowley, who swam across the Channel last night in a time of 13hours 5minutes. This is an excellent effort made even greater by the fact that he started at around 1 o’clock in the afternoon, so had a good 6 hours swimming in the dark. It was also a spring tide so he had a bit more water movement to contend with, not a problem but it sounds cooler.


Well done Piglet!

Just me now from our Swimtrek group – crap.
