The 'triple crown' of open water swimming is a marathon swimming challenge consisting of three historically important swims:

• English Channel 
• Manhattan 20 Bridges (a 28.5 mile circumnavigation swim around Manhattan Island, New York City)
• Catalina Channel (20 miles between Santa Catalina Island and the California mainland)

​Having previously completed the English Channel and Manhattan 20 Bridges, Mark Johansen ​has now completed the triple crown with a successful swim of the Catalina Channel.

Read on for Mark’s fascinating account of this amazing achievement…

After a one-man showing at last week's Berks and South Bucks meet it was good to have a team of five represent RNSC Masters at Sunday's Barnet Copthall Sprint meet.

As usual the meet was well organised and well attended. The organiser, Ian Woollard was briefly caught off-guard when, at the start of a pre-arranged event, he announced 'Over to you Referee', and the officials and competitors burst into song - Happy Birthday Ian!

On to the 'serious stuff'.......

On Tuesday evening Roger and Martin presented their first half hour 'Tech Session'.

Roger's team practised their dive starts from the blocks and sprint techniques. Sprint times were recorded for those taking part.

Martin's group of six dissected the technical elements of backstroke, looking to find changes which would improve their technique and pace.

Watch out for details of next month's session on Tuesday 10th October (and let Roger and Martin have any feedback for the content of future sessions).
