Tewkesbury AC’s wine cellar is becoming fuller by the day. This time it was Sandie Harwood who collected quality wine. Harwood scooped the “Most Improved award” at the Cotswold Aquathon race series. The series comprised of three races - in June, July, and August. The challenge was a 750m lake swim around the Blue flag awarded waters instantly followed by a two lap 5km run. Harwood, who is relatively new to open water swimming, was the last finisher in the June event. This fuelled her determination and she just got better and better. So good was her performances, she was called up in front of a packed awards ceremony to collect her fabulous awards.
Fellow club members Jon Rawlings and press officer Jon Mansfield also raced the series. However, they collected nothing but a peck from an angry swan!
