  The weekly round up included the last Heskin league swim which has a twist, a mass start and the handicaps are only published once swimmers have set off.Spoiler alert… Ian came second male skin.With the seasons changing and routines changing, Dee and Ian talk about their top 5 things they consider important to keep them well and ready to swim.It’s clear neither are vegetarians with both wondering what is quorn… google tells us “Created in 1983, Quorn is the trademarked name given to a meat substitute called mycoprotein. This plant-based protein is derived from a natural microfungus called Fusarium Venenatum.”Contact us @sheswimsheswims on instagram and [email protected] to Enda Gallery for the music Hosted on Acast.
