Drowning is a silent epidemic that claims an estimated 360,000 lives every year, many of them children. Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide. These are wasted lives and preventable deaths. 

Swim Tayka's mission is to give disadvantaged communities around the world access to swimming teachers who can not only provide the life skills of swimming, but create a legacy for todays children, who will grow up to teach the next generation.

In July 2023 I will be swimming the English Channel, as part of 6 person relay, and also doing 2-3 long distance (8km-10km) UK river swims in August and September.

All money raised will be donated to Swim Tayka. I have an ambitious goal of £1,500 

I love swimming, and rivers and oceans are a big part of my life. I work in the water stewardship sector, advising and training people on how they can become water stewards and have a positive impact on the natural environment.
