Hello everyone,
Today we did the whole of Middle Island, and we only missed three hundred meters.
Yesterday, we did half of Middle Island. It was really fun until I stepped on a sea urchin and when I went home it was really unpleasant taking them off. I was awake until 10pm trying to get them off – all fifty of them – but we did it in the end. Felix also stepped on a sea urchin but he didn’t have as many spikes as I did. But his foot was also hurting today.
Apart from that we were all swimming very well today and we also had a parent to help you if you needed it. Some parents had two children with them, and we also had kayaks and paddles.
When we arrived today at the ABC we were all very proud because we did 2.1KM, and when we came to the club, we still had the energy to go swimming there! It was really fun.
Yesterday, I stepped on a sea urchin; you should already know. Anyways, there were no injuries for anyone today, so let’s hope that the same thing happens next week. I look forward to the big day for Lily and Alfie in six days!

Nicolas! (And Félix), you were both attacked by sea urchins and you’re still out there! That’s dedication and determination for you right there! You’re so brave. I have no idea how painful it is. Congratulations to all of you for completing your final training session. I am in total awe of each and everyone of you. Rest well, eat well and enjoy the experience next Saturday. I’m with you every stroke of the way. Lots of love Lily x
