THE MSF COMcurrentSWIM |
|
PJ’s Cross-English Channel
Swim was originally planned for 03 August, but was postponed at short
notice because of unfavourable weather conditions. However, the
COMcurrentSWIM, which was organized by the MSF to take place at the
same time when PJ takes the plunge into the cold icy waters in Dover,
England, went ahead at the Farrer Park Swimming Complex. |
