Woohoo - I did it! On Saturday 12th of September I took part in the Great North Swim, a one mile, open water swim in England's largest lake. The water was a cool 16 degrees C and I completed the swim in 46 mins and 10 secs. And the best part is that I didn't need to be rescued by one of the life boats! I'm very pleased to have done it and am really proud to have been raising money for such a fantastic cause.
