I've challenged myself to swim 2.5km (100 lengths) twice over the Swimathon weekend. If my training goes well, and if I can drum up enough support, I might repeat it on all 3 days! I'm confident I can do the distance once but to do it more than that feels like a significant challenge.....
Why am I doing it? In the hope that some of my fab friends and family might be able to spare a few pounds to support two very worthwhile causes.
