Story
I firmly believe that open water swimming is life changing❤️ It became a passion for me in 2022 after my first ever cold water swim and I now dip and swim year round. As an active volunteer for LHW Gloucestershire, I support other women to experience and enjoy all the benefits open water swimming offers - improving physical and mental well being and increasing confidence.
2 years ago I took part in a 24 hour swim relay at my local lake, raising money for Level Water, a brilliant charity that provides 1-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities across the UK. It was a fantastic challenge and I loved the team camaraderie.
So I'm back raising money for Level Water with my biggest swim challenge yet - 5km across London's Royal Docks in September! I must be mad as I can currently swim 2km, so 5km in one stint feels like a marathon!
I'll be in a team with 7 other wonderful, inspirational women who I swim with at local Gloucestershire venues as often as I can. Please see our individual fundraising pages to find out more about our team 'The Wild Ones', and further event information can be found on the link below:
