Rocco swims 2km

Howrya Doin',

We've 2 new swimmers with us Damon and Paudie, you's are both very welcome to the 40 Foot Walruses Sea-Swimming Club and Loch Ness Challenge lads. D&P are gonna swim the Loch with us and they are looking forward to swimming the sea races this summer too. Our group of Nessie Swimmers is now 17 strong and our travelling group is now 20!

Here is a table with where everybody is with distance right now. The purpose is to give everybody an idea of where they stand. The Nessie Challenge is not a race (mainly because we'd be shamed by the mums!) so the table is not for competitive purposes, it's simply a frame of reference for you.
To update/change your distance post a comment with your new distance and I will update the table.

It is now 3 Sundays and 2 and a half weeks until the May 4th 2km swim. If you can cover the 2kms in under 45 mins on the day that is super, well done. But the priority is to cover the distance on the day! Our man Sham is organising a pool for the swim.

There is going to be a photographer from a Sunday Newspaper down in the 40 Foot to get a snap of The Nessie Challenge Group over the next few weeks! So dont miss "the Semi-Naked to the Nation" photo Opp!!! Come on down for 12.30, we had a smaller than usual turnout last Sunday, so hopefully you can get down this Sun.

Any ideas for a name for the distances table??? If so please post a comment!

Happy Paddling,

P.S. Rocky IV training clip below, for me there is no better motivator. Pump up the volume and kick back with a mug of raw eggs:
