Fancy a swimming challenge and a reason to get fitter?

I did the 4Km Indian Ocean swim a couple of years back, swimming 2Km straight out into the ocean and around the longest jetty in the Southern hemisphere - Busleton, W' Australia. I did this with 1,200 global swimmers.

** Asia to Europe **

This is actually easier than my Auz swim as its across the Hellespont in Turkey which links Asia to Europe. The distance is marginally over 1-mile and the shipping lane is blocked off once ayear for this.

** History of the swim **

Lord Byron undertook this swim in 1810, so you can add a bit of poetry and history to your event!

** Getting Ready **

I can train you online in this thread. I taugh and coached swimmers since I was 18, and now 51.

Maybe this thread 'subject' will be changed to.... 'East Dulwich swims from Asia to Europe'

Best!

  As is your right, but just because it is your right doesn't mean that you are right. I very much doubt, by the way, that people have spent money on extensions 'as an investment'. Read it up, but many building works do not lead to short term profits - or even long-term ones. In the main most people I know who have extended the size of their property have done so because moving to a larger property to meet growing family needs (which may include providing for elderly and infirm relatives) is not economically possible unless you also move (for those now in ED) far away - which level of disruption may be counter-productive.

  A lot of people have extended their properties as am investment rather because they need the space. Obviously what is an appropriate space for a family is objective but I view some building projects as self indulgent and out of scale with the surroundings. Some of the comments on this thread appear reactionary.
