Margaret is aiming to swim 2km a week, making a total of 50km by the end of August. Here is her story.

"I’m not a fast swimmer, rather ‘head up breaststroke’ and not particularly fit, so it’s been hard work. However, I've been getting fitter and 1km now takes me around 45 minutes to complete, rather than the hour it took at the start. And now I've completed my 50K swim.

I've been doing this because I love that I can walk to the pool from my house and would be so sorry to see it and the other amazing facilities there close.

So any help via a donation you can give me would be really welcome. The money from this page goes straight into the SpArC Pool at 50 fund."
