Not so Shivery Swim!




A beautiful autumn day saw Chloe, Amelia and 12 new friends take to the calm waters of Port Philip Bay for a 1200m fundraising swim on April 20th.
By 11am all were in the water, with participants including well known open water swimmer John Van Wisse. Visiting jelly fish (some on the large side...) failed to dampen the spirits of all involved! Despite the promised media coverage prior to the event not eventuating, feedback from various groups has indicated future support should the "Shiver Swim" become an annual event.

The girls from T.O.T.M. wholeheartedly thank all swimmers involved and St Kilda Surf Lifesaving Club for hosting the swim and providing the water safety.

Shiver & Swim?

It's only nine days until the scheduled start of the Sea 2 See "Shiver Swim"-but will it go ahead? We are still trying desperately to get publicity in the media-much has been promised but little delivered! There has been a post on MySpace, emails to various swimming bodies and faxes galore! Here's hoping that it all comes together on the day.....

Another worry at the moment is the fact that the airline our flights to England are booked through (Royal Brunei) is no longer flying that route! We are waiting to be advised as to which carrier they are sending us on.....

Que sera, sera....
