Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. 

On the week of the 12th of July 2013, we'll be swimming the English Channel to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. This will be a huge challenge for us as, while we're all confident pool swimmers, the trials of the open water..... icy temperatures, rough seas and jellyfish... will be new to some of us. We're also keen to complete it in a fast time (depending on the weather).

Two of our members have heart conditions (Dee and Jane) and so this charity is particularly important to us. They are keen to show that having a heart condition doesn't necessarily have to hold you back in sport. Our pilot, Andy, has also had a personal experience with the effects of heart disease and so is keen to give something back to the BHF.

The temperature where we train is now up to 12 degrees (a swimming pool is 28 degrees) so swimming is getting chilly but exciting!

We'll be regularly updating you on our progress and really appreciate your support!

Thanks,

Andy (the Pilot), Katie, Dee, Lucy, Sarah, Emily and Jane x
