Camp 12 hour swim

Just a bit of info from the camp. We had a 12 hour swim last Thursday. The weather was fantastic. 26 kids got involved. The basics were that in 12 hours (6am to 6pm) each swimmer had to do as many kms as they were comfortable doing. Swimmers could hop out and eat/sleep/drink. Each team (there were 2 teams on camp) would have their total kms added up to see which could go the furthest.
The distance travelled by most of the swimmers was way in excess of anything I imagined. Congratulations to you all.
The Dugongs topped the Great Whites 229.7km to 219.45km in the team comp. Well done.

Some other stats from the day
Gus - 0.8km
Ben - 2km
Vanessa - 0.7km
1.5 litres of sunscreen used
3 meals demolished/swimmer
449.15km in total which was 17966 laps of that pool
Where would 449km get you? Around the bay twice. From Mentone to the South Australian Border. Well past the NSW border. To the north coast of Tassie.
