The Jersey girls resplendent in their TOTM hoodies and pink swimwear-you won't miss these girls on the beach! This photo was taken when the local media were organising a story on the efforts of Team TOTM. The countdown continues....

Counting down...
With only 6 weeks until Chloe & Amelia leave for the UK, excitement is mounting! Alice, Bianca, Chantelle & Tasmin will finally get to meet them face to face!
As the water temperature in the Channel starts to climb, in Warrnambool it has definitely dropped! This weekend saw a number of swimmers participate in a demanding training regime.
At 10pm on Friday June 13th, 13 swimmers (including Chloe) entered the sub 10c waters of the Hopkins River. 1 hour later they emerged shivering to look forward to a couple of hours rest until 2am-when they re-entered the dark & murky depths! At 10am on the Saturday the session was in the ocean, with a much anticipated luncheon afterwards! With weather conditions being cold, drizzly and blustery it took until Saturday evening for our body temperatures to get anywhere near normal again- a strong reminder of keeping hypothermia in mind at all times when training in cold water!
Amelia has been training with a swimming club in Ballarat and the girls in Jersey are spending a lot of time in the water over there.
Let the countdown begin!
