Swam 2mi downstream from Grantchester to the rollers. That's half a mile further than I did to the canoe club at the Slow Swim.

I was out of practice, muscles were v tired but it was v nice to do. I could have gone farther with another little sit down.

I'd been interested to see if I could do that last stretch into town. It's not really good swimming, more punts and more concrete edges, but it was easy to do. I hadn't realised it was only half a mile.

I have previously swum down from Hauxton Mill to Byron's Pool, and Byron's pool to Grantchester. I guess that adds up to 4.5mi of Granta and Cam, compared to ~20mi length of the Cam (excluding the Great Ouse below the Little Ouse and the Granta above Hauxton Mill)
