Poseidon Club 2016

2016 has been an amazing year for Oxbridge open water swimming feats! Under the proactive captains, Laura Fenwick for Oxford and Laura Schubert for the tabs, both teams turned in sparkling shows at Henley open water matches, and then completed a couple of great channel relays – in the top 4 fastest from 105 teams getting to France!! Oxford won all their matches, with the tabs very close! James Manning went on to win his age group in the british open water champs and Dave Denny, Oxford 1997 vintage, did a channel solo in 9hrs 16mins! All  this to mark the 10th running of the Varsity Channel Relay and 125TH year of OUSC.

On the world stage, Lauren Whitmore, now McGregor, went well in the Kona Ultra World Championships, and Matt Fox qualified for the Ultra World Champs next year. The Poseidon Club was able to help the current teams get to the start line, adding to their own brilliant crowdfunding. We head now for a mega party at the Oxbridge Club on December 9. I hope to see as many of you Poseidon stars as possible on the night!! See you all there.

Best,

Nick T, Poseidon Club Chairman.

Also congratulations to new open water swimming captain George Stannard!
