Comment | At the time of my swim I believe I was the 3rd oldest. I had done a swim three weeks earlier but on the approach the escort boat grounded, I was ordered out of the water and awarded the swim by the Observer. The Committee of CSA later denied it and asked me to appeal. I chose to try again and did succeed. |
