TESTIMONIAL
Josie was among a group of swimmers who took on The Triple Crown 30km over 3 days, here's what she said:
"A huge thank you for arranging such an amazing weekend. I loved every minute of every swim. They were all very different and posed their own challenges. I even enjoyed the struggle against the tide, although glad it was only a small stretch that was really tough.
I was worried beforehand that those distances in just 3 days might be too much, so finding myself wanting to do more has been a lovely surprise. I hope you have recovered from hours of being on your SUP, that was quite amazing to see.
Many thanks again to you and your team, for a great weekend."

Mike first swam these routes on the Dovey/Dyfi estuary in 2012, Menai Straits 2010, and the Mawddach estuary in 2013. He learnt about all of these stretches of water initially from his sea kayak. During this time he co-authored The Wild Swimming Code with Dan Graham for Natural Resources Wales.
