I WAS very proud to be invited along to support the Tornadoes of South Dorset swimming club as they tackled their English Channel challenge.
The event took place at Osprey Pool on Portland , where the team swam an amazing 42 miles – the equivalent of swimming from Great Britain to France and back. Well done everyone!
