Hi Claire, & anyone else interested...<br><br>Yes, we should get them on Facebook. Til that time, I have created a page on the 'Blog which contains all the swims we have done - as on the OSS website, but with some notes on where we stopped etc, with dates for future swims too. Yes, I did have quite a lot of work to do today. (you may also see our synchro display up too). <br>

And on that note, please would you forward me a reminder of the scheduled Thames swim dates for Sept/Oct. <br>
I'm trying sort out my diary and the email with dates is completely lost in the mists of my inbox. Any chance the list could go on Facebook to make it easier to find?<br>

Many thanks, <br>
