Greetings, swimmers! There’s now only one week left to put your name in for this year’s MDMS. Entries  will close at midnight next Wednesday (12 June). Unfortunately, no late entries can be accepted.

We have spaces for volunteers also! We are looking for onshore spotters who will be positioned at strategic points along the bank, kayakers (of Level 2 ability) and timekeepers. If you can fulfill any of these roles, get in contact with us and we’ll find some job for you!

Conditions are excellent on the River Blackwater at the moment – water temperatures of about 15ºC – and we hope that it will continue until the day of the event. We look forward to seeing you all then…
