On 25th June 2022 I am attempting the Chilllswim Lake Coniston end to end challenge, a continuous 5.25 miles. 

I'm using the power of swimming to raise money for Level Water, who use the power of swimming to improve the lives of children with disabilities.

I have always dreamt of embarking on this swim since growing up in the Lake District,  spending summers splashing around ‘Wild Cat Island’ on Coniston water.  When I mustered the courage to take on the challenge it seemed selfish to simply satisfy my dream rather than use the opportunity to fundraise for a worthy cause. 

I believe swimming to be a lifelong important skill which should be taught to all children of all abilities.
