Saturday 30 June Support for swim in Torbay
Hello Jane (I think you are the secretary from the website) ,
You don’t know me but I am looking for some help. You may have already been contacted by the BLDSA (British Long Distance Swimming Association) but they are running a swim on Saturday in Torbay. It is an eight mile sea swim and I have just been contacted by the organisers to say that they don’t have enough kayakers for the event. I am not sure how they have allocated Kayak support but at the moment I am one of the swimmers without crew.
As you can imagine, I have done a lot of training for this swim and would be devastated if I couldn’t compete. Is there any way that I could reach your membership to see if there is anyone who fancies a gentle paddle on Saturday morning. I think the race time is 11am with race briefing at 9.45. I anticipate completing the race in about 3.5hrs, 4hrs max. I would be very happy to pay £50 for the time plus any reasonable expenses (travel, parking, food etc).
I wonder if there is any help that you can offer? I’m running short of options now. If they haven’t already contacted you about this, I think that they are about 7 kayakers short currently and I can put you in touch with the organisers if there is more interest?
Many thanks
