What a day!! There is nothing like swimming across the Firth of Forth in an hour to get the blood pumping! 

The weather was great, there were lots of swimmers in the water and watching all the colourful tow floats and swim caps moving across the Forth was quite a sight and with the bagpipes playing in the background there was nothing like it. 

We'd like to thank everyone for coming along and a big thanks to our volunteers, all the kayakers and land crew, without you we couldn't get it all done. 

Make sure and have a look at the results of the day, along with some photos of our swimmers. Maybe there will be one with you in it.
