As lots of you know I decided to set myself a personal 5k swim challenge,  which seemed like a reasonable stretch given that I was mostly swimming up to 1k up till that point. Coincidentally work then decided to partner with Swimathon for their charity fundraising this year so it seemed sensible to tie the two together.

So far my training swims have included dodging several jellyfish, yachts, fishing boats, and since I often detour via our local sewage outlet (see photo), I'm probably dodging other floating things too. I'm also contending with chaffing and salt-tongue (which is quite unpleasant).

If you fancy donating, I'd be super delighted and it might even spur me on beyond my sea-snail pace.
