The British Long Distance Swimming Association (BLDSA) are organising a 8 ½ mile swim on Saturday 9th July across Torbay, from Meadfoot Beach to Fishcombe Cove and back.

Each Swimmer (approximately 40) has to have a 1:1 kayaker.

We are looking for sea kayakers (with experience) to accompany the swimmers, each Kayaker will be paid £100 after the event by the BLDSA.

There will also be 4 Safety Ribs out on the water.

The swim commences at 11.00 am, safety briefing 9.30/10.00 am with all Kayakers and Swimmers to be present.

Please contact Helen Price if you are able to help:-

    I'm considering doing this - maybe a bunch of us from the club could do it as a slightly random sea kayak trip :smile: . I don't know much about long distance swimming, but these seems like a pretty epic swim that people are taking on, and it would be a shame if they couldn't do it.

    Sounds great but have a gig that day.

    I contacted the organiser. They have sufficient cover, but they will take names for a reserve list or to be considered for next year.
