Both competed in the Cool Mile in Tal-y-Llyn in North Wales on Sunday, October 20. This was Peni’s 3rd Cool Mile and this time round she opted to compete in skins rather than in a wetsuit in lake temperatures of 10 degrees!
Helen Ovens competed in the wetsuit category in her 5th Cool Mile.
Forty-nine swimmers competed the three laps of Tal-y-Llyn to cover a mile of swimming, with Peni (Year 9) finishing in 10th place overall, 5th in skins) in a PB of 29min 40 seconds and Helen Ovens, also posting a PB in the event, finishing in 40th (27th overall in the wetsuit category) in a great time of 46min 35 seconds. Da iawn ladies!
