Vaal River

This swim was the 3rd leg of my 6 continental swims around the world. The swim in South Africa was meant to be held in Simon’s Town near Cape Town but was then changed to the Vaal River near Johannasberg. This swim was hard as it was in a freshwater river and I would swim 13 kms down the river and 13 kms back to where I had started my swim. Being a freshwater river and not much buoyancy the swim as it went along became even harder and near the end of the swim I started cramping up and eventually I made it back to where I had started my swim. The swim took 10 hours and 47 minutes. I had now completed the 3rd leg of my 6 continental swims.
