There is an upcoming event at Pulau Kapas(If i'm not wrong). It's an event that requires the swimmers to swim for at least 6km to reach another Island. Look like a lot of our LG members seem to be interested. So, i just post it here to notify anyone that dunno about that.
It could be fun but make sure u're ready for it. I mean everything. Dun worry about the Sharks and Jellyfish, They are there waiting for u and maybe swim with u... So have fun...
