Swim Lake Windermere

Today my friend, Tim, swam the full length of Lake Windermere, every last inch of the 10.5 miles. He began his epic swim at about 7am this morning at Fell Foot on the southern shore. He emerged from the depths just after 2pm at Waterhead on the northern shore, having swum continuously for over seven hours. What an achievement!  

Tim used to be a marathon runner. Successive injuries led to a change of sport, and he now swims in open water events. I wouldn't be surprised if his next challenge is the English Channel.
