View video of the 2009 swim on 6 Sept 2009 in Poole Harbour. 150 swimmers took to the water to compete in the annual 4.6 mile swim around the island.
The 2009 Brownsea Island Swim was a great race as usual and brilliantly organised by RLSS Poole Lifeguards. On behalf of the Club and 156 entrants, we would like to thank Mark Shakles, his support team and safety crew. We are very lucky to have such a terrific swim so close to our base.
East Dorset Open Water Club swimmers featured strongly in the full distance non-wetsuit and wetsuit categories. Danni Callahan came third in the non-wetsuit category (1.39.24) and Tasha Morey first in wetsuit (1.29.52).
This is one of our targeted swims for 2009 and we hope to see many of you enter. The entry form is available from www.rlss-poole.org.uk
