The 24 hour relay swim raised funds for MS research in Tasmania. The team came in 5th place (combined total of distance points and fund raising points) out of 10 teams.
Most of the swimmers used their time to complete
Endurance 1000 swims, with 14 one hour swims, 6 half hour swims and numerous 800 and 400 swims. The team started and finished with a bang - one hour of short relays - swimming over 6k in the first and last hour.
