		A big thank you to the National Trust, Brownsea Island, in particular Property Manager - Simon Lee, for allowing us to host the event again and for allowing us the use of their facilities, also, Duty Warden Darren Gridley-Haack, for organising the Ferries, to transport the swimmers to and from the Island for the race.
