August 2011 - The SWIM - Jim Phelan
Full
details of the challenge are here -

Just to update
you on The SWIM. I raised over £500 for Cancer Research and from all of the
participants who had raised in excess of £100 and were thereby entered into
a lottery... I made the final 40 and was invited down to Brighton for sea
trials to select the 2 members of the public who were to join the
celebrities and the swimmers on their relay across the Irish Sea from
Holyhead to Dublin.
It was cruel!
To make sure they had some strong swimmers to compensate for the weakness of
the celebrities... they invited some top people... previous Channel
swimmers, international competitors and members of the Open Water Swimming
youth squad so I was 'not amongst equals' to say the least. They started us
off with 8 laps of a course that was around 1000m in the sea... that's about
5 miles. Then we had a 45 minute break to cram some food down and went back
in.
This time they
shortened the course to around 800m and we had to do 7 laps... that's
another 3.5 miles.... we were told that after the 2nd swim we would have
interviews and a debriefing.... but they scrapped that and sent us back in
for another 4 laps...2 more miles... by now we were down to the last 13 and
I scraped into the top 10 so I was really pleased to have survived... but
knew I wouldn't make the top 2 for the team. It was one of the toughest
tasks I've ever done... my arms were on fire and my tongue blistered with
the salt.... I even burned the back of my ankles as they had 5 hours direct
exposure to the sun! But somehow I managed to swim at an even pace
throughout and although I was a long way behind the top swimmers, I didn't
fall apart like some of the good ones who got tempted into doing the first 5
miles fast and then had to pack on the last one from total energy loss. 5
hours swimming.... 10.5 miles swum... didn't make the team but very glad I
did it.
