8. Coniston Veterans
42nd Coniston Veterans’ Championship – 15 Aug. 2010
Swimmers the length and breadth of the UK converged at Coniston to swim between their lunchtime and teatime medications in this ‘no holds barred’ race. 27 starters and 27 finishers. Fine weather and good water quality. Grateful thanks must go to press ganged and blackmailed paddlers, oarsmen, timekeepers, safety boat crews and all volunteer helpers.
Simon Lee missed the record by seconds due to fiddling, we hear, with his goggles. Sharon Harris won the Ladies by accident – she stayed in the water! Oldest lady finisher receiving John O’ Hara trophy was again Greta Gall. David Foster, sponsored by Boots the Chemist, secured last place and trophy for oldest Gent finisher! Well done to the many swimmers who achieved their personal best.
Trophies and certificates were presented to survivors and next of kin by the BLDSA President, Pam Morgan.
