The 2 Swim 4 Life Challenge – So you think you can swim?

Events Calender, News & Events, Swimming 3 Comments

Think you’re a good swimmer?

Want to test your swimming endurance whilst raising money for Help for Heroes?

This ultimate endurance challenges individuals to swim a mile, on the hour, for 24 hours. It has quickly become an iconic event that has seen competitors fly in from all over Europe. In 2008 only 7 of the starters completed the 24 mile challenge. Have you got what it takes?

When?

Starts 09.30am 30^th April 2011

Finishes 09.30am 1^st May 2011

Where?

Guildford Lido, Stoke Road, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 1HB

Who?

Competent swimmers over 25 years old on 31^st December 2011 can enter the “Full Monty” 24 mile challenge.
Competent 18-24 yrs olds are warmly invited to swim a mile on the hour for 12 hours.
This is not a paddle in the pool – this is hard, challenging and needs cold water acclimatisation.
Swimming a mile on the hour and whatever is left, is the rest period!

Yes they have Julian when it was first done in 2008, 7 completed it, plenty of others did pretty well but one of the biggest problems seems to have been the chlorinated environment of the indoor pool. This year’s event is in a heated outdoor pool so that should help – although air temp could be challenging. There’s the overnight 12 mile, 12 hour version as an “easier” option!

easier!! hopefully the weather will be a little warmer by then – i’d be interested to see if the outdoor pool helps facilitate more finishers? Whats the limit of competitors?
