Massive thank you to everyone who sponsored me, I had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed my swim, even despite the weeds.  I've now got an open water 1500m personal best time of 47:54 (that's minutes and seconds btw!) and a target to beat for next year!!

Altogether you've helped me raise £420 for the Children's Hospital Charity, which is amazing.  Thanks very much.
