Bob and Dave
Inspired by the book Liquid Assets and their shared passion for outdoor swimming Bob Holman & Dave Pratten intend to swim a mile in every outdoor pool or lido in the UK. Currently, the number stands at 98, 99 or 100 – they think one or two may have reopened. The challenge began in Somerset on May 19th 2007. Many of the pools are not heated and therefore their opening times are sometimes, but not always(!), limited to the summer months. It may take two summers, but they’re doing it for Save The Children, so please give generously.
They will enter the balmy waters of Cottenham Pool at 9am on August 9th (Thursday). You’re welcome to join them and, of course, make a donation!
