This was a strange event for us, not only because each length was twice as long as we are used to, but more particularly because there were no relays. Because of this, Godfrey chose to swim as Lincoln Pentaqua for which he is technically first claim, (although I can’t think of the last time he swam in competition for them), and Pauline swam for Birmingham for which she is second claim, but …oh never mind, it gets far too complicated. Suffice to say whichever club they named, they were really swimming with us. Luke was with us, but a few days before had picked a fight with an itinerant who had proved to be bigger and meaner than him and was thus unable to swim due to his wounds. So it was that 12 of us went out to challenge the best that Ponds Forge could throw at us.
