Story

This Saturday, rather than watching X Factor & twittering about it, I've decided to do something useful and for a good cause.

I'll be swimming front crawl in the Guildford Spectrum swimming pool for two hours, and I'll be doing this in aid of a local Guildford charity, called Cherry Trees, which looks after children and young people who have a learning disability and/or a physical disability.

I need your help with sponsorship, but offer an incentive! The person that correctly guesses the amount of lengths I can do in those two hours, has the option of winning 15% of the total money I raise. Ooh!

Here's some more info, and a few clues..

a) I'll be swimming in a 25m pool
b) I'll be trying to swim as far as I can, without stopping
c) Previous times for a few long distance events : 750m 12mins, 1500m 25mins
d) Should you guess correctly, you don't have to accept the 15% of total money if you don't want to.
e) Count of lengths is final.
f) If you need more info, get in touch.
g) This is the only charity event I'll be doing this year

Guesses for the total amount of lengths so far;

Loads (Jenni)
50 (Hattie)
