Ouch - you can get all sorts from contaminated water - Lymes Dis etc and can be fatal if the swans didnt get there first.
Poor soul, hats off he's done/doing well.
Thanks for this P !!

I've just been looking to see how he is getting on with the swim but couldn't find anything about it.  |

He's just appeared on The One Show getting out of the river at Marlow. He seemed in good spirits. I think Chris Evans is going to interview him later in the show.

I missed that Judith as I was cooking dinner.  We live very close to the Thames so I might try and get there over the weekend to cheer him on. |

He's raised a sh*t load of money.  The only reason I've taken such an interest is because he came to our school last year to surprise a class of students who had raised money for sports relief. Plus the fact that I've embarked on my virtual channel swim today raising money for aspire, the spinal injuries charity. Half a mile was tough going so he has my admiration.  |
