Faye Goodfellow (Copper Squad) misplaced her goggles after her session on Sunday 11th October. We have been looking for them since then and have drawn a blank. They are black Sutton goggles with prescription lenses. If anyone has found them please let me know.

Subject: A World Record for Croydon Amphibians' Mark Bayliss
From: Pam Pollington
Posted: 16 September 2012
With the cheers for the Olympic Triathletes still ringing in our ears from London 2012, Croydon's Mark Bayliss has broken the world record for, perhaps, the most challenging and iconic "Triathlon", the "Arch to Arc" Enduroman Challenge. This challenge saw him run from Marble Arch to Dover, swim the English Channel and then cycle into the record books along the Champs Elysees to finish at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He started at 10:30 on Wednesday 5th, finishing 73 hours and 39 minutes later just after noon on Saturday 8th September.
Mark is well known in Surrey's water polo community, having starred for many years for Amphibians in the British Water Polo League. In 2007 he first swam the English Channel and this provided the baseline for planning this momentous feat of endurance.
Mark is the 11th athlete to complete this challenge, but, maintaining Surrey's premier position in cross Channel swimming, is the first to complete the swim without a wetsuit, fully compliant with Channel Swimming rules.
Congratulations to Mark - the full story is on his website: www.teambayliss.co.uk
There are also two galleries of photos on the Galleries page.
