The Big Swim - Day 3 - Friday 18th March 2011


Mandy had another great day in the water. The sun didn’t manage to get out but she swam over 15km. She started back at Cape Woolamai (where she finished on Day 1) and swam along Woolamai Beach past Smiths Beach and Pyramid Rock to her finish point from Day 2.  It was a slow start in the morning but by the arvo things were looking up.

She swam at an average speed of 3.5 – 4 km per hour with the tide.  Some curious dolphins and seals came to see who was swimming in their waters around Pyramid Rock.

Tomorrow it will be another early start leaving from Grossard Point. From there Mandy will swim towards Cowes where she has invited anyone and everyone to come and swim a leg of the race for a $20 donation to Swim for Life. If you are keen come down to Cowes Main Beach at 11am on Saturday.
