Well done to Patrick Smith from Joshua PR who has recently completed a big challenge he set for himself. A few weeks ago Patrick was one of a relay team of four people who swam the English Channel.
He arrived in Dover on a Sunday morning to meet the team and after a bit of a wobbly start when he started to feel a bit nervous the team set off late on the Tuesday evening. At around midnight the team arrived at their start point and to Patrick’s surprise had nominated him to be the first to dip his toe in. Patrick swam his first leg in the pitch black under the stars and then returned to the boat for the others to take their turns. By dawn it was his time again. The team were doing really well, only 3 miles from France when the tide turned and poor Patrick felt he was swimming sideways to beat the strong current.
After just 14 hours and 43 minutes it was mission accomplished as they arrived in France. What an amazing achievement the team must have felt.
Patrick has written a fantastic blog about the whole experience and it really is well worth a read, click below for further details.
And why does he do this? Not for charity, he simply does it to keep himself fit and prove he can undertake the challenge. He’s also swam the length of Windermere too!
So if you want to talk swimming or even PR (or how they might combine) you can find Patrick in Oak House A here at Ransom Wood.
