| Swim with boat cover |
| The second night of the Kayak training course is taking place on Friday night at Lilliput. There will be water cover available at 19:30 for anyone who wants to swim with water cover. This will also give the kayakers an opportunity to paddle with ‘real’ swimmers as part of the training. Its very important the MTC develops the ability to support its own open water swim events such as TI races but also Super Sprints , Long Lake swims etc. Without cover these events can’t go ahead. So if you are available and fancy a lake swim with boat cover (maybe practice for the Aquathons?) swim |

When you hear this call, move into the left side of the track and if in a group try to form up in single file. The runners will pass you on the right.
