Start Spreading the news - 50 days to go!

Into the final 50 days of the countdown - pinch me I still must be dreaming!!

Just to underline the truly global nature of this event, I've just spent some time responding to questions from a journalist at the Mareeba Express newspaper in Queensland Australia!  We have had a phenomenal take up down-under (especially considering the time differences involved) with now 6 Australian and 3 New Zealand clubs confirmed as taking part.

What I really love doing at the moment is "googling" for Rotary Global Swimarathon and looking for new articles about the event- Try it yourself!!

Here's a selection of press and blog coverage - please take a look!!
