Swimsational

In my previous post I mentioned about my daughter wild swimming.

On Sunday she took part in an event at Rutland water, England's largest reservoir in England's smallest, very pretty county - Rutland. 

We drove up on Saturday and stayed in a lovely AirB&B 

It had a spacious lounge, dining room, kitchen, a snug,

3 double bedrooms with one en-suite and a small single.

a very nice tiered garden which we made good use of with glorious weather.

After arriving we drove to the event

for my daughter to register which saved some time

so early on Sunday morning she could go straight to the boat

that transported the swimmers to the start

which was way over there in the distance. This was where the finish was set up, between those two flags. There were 2k, 4k and 8k swims. My daughter did the 2k swim which looked daunting from the water's edge. She did it in good time but the start of it was difficult because there were lots of reeds and a strong current, but once she got past all that and into the straight bit she got into a better rythme.

I was so relieved to see her coming out of the water
