British Gas Swims Britain · 30 June 2013 to 1 July 2013 ·

We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. Because we believe no childhood should be lost to illness.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many of you will know me as a sporty type who spends most of her spare time, running, biking, climing, skiing and generally tiring myself out. So a 1km swim may not seem like much of a challenge but my poor swimming ability is my dirty sporting secret! At age of 31 I still can not bring myself to put my head underwater in order to swim properly. However I am not going to let that stop me so I have developed a distinctive style that I like to call 'lifeguard' which is frontcrawl with my head above the water line at all times. This is of course very inefficient making swimming 1km rather hard work. Having said that I have now spent several hours training and I am confident that I will be able to complete the 1km challenge.
