After more stop start… I am a Channel swimmer!

We finished, battered but not beaten, 17 hours 12 minutes later. Here’s the story, as explained to 220 Triathlon magazine.

A close shave… back to September for our swim

Dover test run… or test swim

Channel swim training continues but the excitement three weeks ago of the water temp rising has dropped. As has the temperature of the water again. Very frustrating. The Seabrook Seals have been posting photos on their Facebook page of happy smiling swimmers a year...

What People Are Saying

Lou provided excellent massage and advice as part of preparations for my first 100 mile ultramarathon. With her help I was able to train harder and more consistently than ever before and I firmly believe that our regular massage sessions prepared me so that I was able to recover so well after the event. Because Lou is an accomplished endurance athlete herself this really helps her understand her clients’ needs. Grant Vernon

Ultra Runner

Lou’s pleasant personality exudes friendliness and warmth making you feel welcome yet with adequate professional respectfulness. As a patient one feels reassured of her care and empathy. Her conduct as a valuable and efficient therapist cannot be doubted. Gunnel Berry
