Boulters to Bray Open Water Event
July 6, 2019
The Boulter’s to Bray Swim is one of the oldest open water swimming events, with a history dating back to the 19th century. Taking place on a picturesque stretch of the Thames in Maidenhead, Berkshire, it was once a major annual event in the community. The original event stopped running in 1969, but was reinstated in 2012 by the Boulter’s to Bray Swim Trust. The Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that is keen to maintain the original community spirit of the event, so all proceeds are used to support and promote other amateur sports projects.
Bracknell’s Master swimmers Paul and Laura competed in the event, Paul in the 1.4K and Laura in the 2.8K.
Having won the previous three years, Paul was under more pressure, but did not let it get to him as he made it four years in a row as champion.
Laura was 4th in her 19-49 age group category. There were 52 competing in this category.
