Thank you everyone who came to the H2Open Day last Saturday. It was amazing to see so much enthusiasm despite the less than perfect weather. The feedback we've heard has been wonderfully positive. We've received a lot of great comments about our speakers and we know the seminar room was packed throughout. Well done also to everyone who braved the 12.2 degree water.

Please click here to see the results from the 750m timed swim.

And see our Facebook page for more pictures.

Thank you also for the suggestions on how to make the event even better next time. We really welcome your comments and ideas. If you want to share you thoughts, please use our contact form or Facebook page.
