Each year the British Heart Foundation host a sponsored swim at the Diss pool that also includes a Relay Challenge involving a four man (or women or mixed) team seeing how far they can swim in 15 minutes.
Teams are allowed no more than 2 swimmers at a time, so the concensus of the teams is for the 4 to split into pairs and swim 50m at a time. So, basically 15 minutes of 50m on, 50m off.
This year Tri-Anglia have a team consisting of Matt Ellis, Matt Spillman, Oliver Milk and myself.
How far do you reckon we'll get? The fast teams from the local swim clubs aim for 100 lengths (2.5km) and often get over 90.
Perhaps we should have a sweep stake? £1 a punt with 50% going to the charity and 50% into the prize pot. Or you could just donate to BHF at www.justgiving.com/tri-anglia
If anyone else would like to get a team together, I can email you an entry form.
