Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know, I have recently started swimming and the gym to loose my many stones of extra weight. Yes, I was the one who ate all the pork pies!

Anyway I have taken to swimming and I am confident that I can complete the Aspire "Swim with Dave" challenge. This means over 12 weeks I need to swim 22 miles in my local pool.

From September 13th to 5th December.
In my local pool, 1mile = 50 lengths! Sounds a long, long way now!

*Edit*
On 13th September  I swam 76 lengths, that's 1.5 miles so far!
On 15th September  I swam 74 lengths, that's 3 miles so far!
On 20th September  I swam 76 lengths, that's 4.6 miles so far!
On 22nd September  I swam 76 lengths, that's 6.2 miles so far!
On 27th September  I swam 80 lengths, that's 7.9 miles so far!
