Story


We planned to sign up to support this as a club, but unfortunately due to illness and family bereavements have been unable to organise it.

As club chair I volunteered to swim for the club. 

I have never swum with a swim club but do enjoy swimming. I've not been in a pool for over 2 years, except for the odd dip on holiday. I'm #gettingbackintowater with Swim Wales.

Thanks to Caerphilly Squad for supporting me with a few practice swims, their advice and support, hope all your resuscitation skills are up to date, I may well need them after 60 lengths!

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
