Swim Around NZ - April Update PDF Print E-mail

This month we have our first million meter swimmer of the event - congratulations to Steven Sexton, who in the past 12 months has swum over 1 million meters - a fantastic effort, and a major contribution to our efforts. This month, Steven has managed to widen the gap on fellow swimmers, but the distances between the next few swimmers is shaping up to be a real battle as we head into our 2nd year of swimming. There are also some interesting battles going on further down the table. Who will come out on top will be anyones guess.

 

Congratulations to all on hanging in there for the first 12 months. When the event started we really had no idea how long it would take, so to hit the 12 month milestone, still have a large number of swimmers taking part, and even some new names popping in in the last month is an achievement in itself. If you haven't put your distances in yet, it's still not too late. Any swimming you do from the 1st May 2008 will count, and we only stop when we get round the coast of NZ. That's 15,134Km's of coastline to cover, so get your distances in and join in the fun.

 


So far we have covered 9,801Km's since 1 May 2008. There's still 6000 odd K's to go, so keep swimming and get those distances in. While you are at it, if you are swimming with others, encourage them to put their distances in as well. Every little bit helps, and it's motivating to see how quickly those K's mount up over a short period of time.

 

To put things in perspective 9801Km's is (Plenty for the trainspotters this month, but there are some big milestones coming up):

  • Auckland to Severo-Kuril'sk
  • Auckland to Pyongyang
  • Invercargill to Tolanaro
  • Invercargill to Port Louis
