Then entry number 83, thanks to Manish Deshpande of the Rotary Club of Kagal MIDC taking us to 4 entries in District 3170 and an 8th entry overall in India - fantastic.
As per the blog title, we're all very excited here at the Rotary Club of Grantham, as our annual 3 day swimarathon starts today. As I've posted about previously as well as working all through the weekend (along with every other member of our club, members of Grantham Kesteven evening club and our Inner wheel club) I've also got my own swimarathon marathon challenge to fit in as well, and thanks so much for everyone out there who have helped me raise £400 in sponsorship received already - http://www.justgiving.com/PaulWilsonRotary so it's going to be fantastic!
Very proud to say this year, our event will be opened by our RIBI 2011/12 President Ray Burman and during the weekend our UK Global Swimarathon ambassador Fran Williamson will be joining us as special guest to see what the event is all about. We'll make sure we share all the videos and news from the weekend as soon as we can , but as you'll appreciate, updates may be a bit limited over the next couple of days with so much going on.
Loads of activity to report in terms of new interest in joining the event - only this morning received an email from Canary Islands, Spain where Marcus Cabrera who takes part in Masters Swimming events in Spain has said they would like to take part - magic!
More brilliant news this morning from Mareeba Rotary in D9550 Australia , one of the amazing 8 clubs entered in that District. Thanks to great work from Ida Portella and the team, they've managed to get legendary multi-world championship winning triathlete Brad Beven as their special guest - http://www.bradbeven.com - As you'll see he's got an incredible record of achievements, but for me the statement that stands out on there has to be
"Brad Beven trained in swamps with Crocs, but you don't have to."
LEGEND!!
