Story
On Saturday 4th march 2017 Sophie will be swimming in the Basingstoke lions swimathon. This is a sponsored team relay over 30 minutes and this year I will be swimming alongside Sophie (🙈😂😳). The Basingstoke lions have chosen to support Sophies swimming squad with the proceeds, in particular two of Sophies friends Cameron and Scott who are this year swimming in the special olympics this summer. they are also splitting the proceeds with Sophie school swimming team which will go to the continuing support for children like Sophie who have been seen to have potential in swimming. they provide a free swimming programme once a week.
Sophie swims with the bluefins disability team twice a week, with a view to progressing to swimming in the paralympics in the future. They are a specialist squad who support those with multiple disabilities with the focus on abilty not disability. we have seen how much swimming has made a difference to Sophie and would like to support her team members.
Any donation would be greatly received no matter how big or small!

7 years agoThis evening Sophie and I took part in the sponsored swim, every person who swam either had a disability or was supporting someone with a disability. In a team of 6 over 30 minutes we swam in total 64 lengths! My thighs are dying! I will honestly say I have underestimated how strong and determined my daughter is. Every week I sit for 60 minutes watching her swim up and down, I got in the pool this evening and quickly remembered how hard swimming is!! I was struggling after a length. I am so proud of my daughter 💞💖 she's an inspiration 😊
