Scallop Shell Swims Win Interest from Olympic Swimming Champion

Filed under Events, Featured
The series of sea swims taking place as part of the 2009 Queenie Festival are starting to attract considerable interest – most notably from Olympic open water champion David Davies.
David Davies won the silver medal in the men’s 10km open water marathon in Beijing. During his visit of the Isle of Man last weekend (18th – 19th April) he met with young members of the Isle of Man Swimming Squad.
We were made up to hear that whilst he attended a coaching session at the Western Swimming Pool in Peel, Davies expressed an interest in coming back to the Island in 2010, specifically to attend the Festival! The small matter of the World Championships in Rome this summer will prevent him making a more immediate return to the Island! Read more
