“If you are involved in any activity that you think may be of interest to open water swimmers, contact me as there is still time to get involved in the event. If anyone wants to improve their swimming or get into cold water get in touch with us.

“Vitamin Sea at the key is about sharing our love of open water swimming and it is an opportunity to get together with other swimmers and share other information that is out there.”
