Hi! On the 26th September our team is going to be swimming relay for 24 hours at Alderford Lake.

One out, one in, for 24 hours. I'm expecting to swim a minimum of four hours over the day - I can't wait!

I've been training by visiting Whitmore Lakes with the teamies and using their 500m circuit training pool to really wrack up those hours and get used to swimming multiple hours at a time. I've also been getting in some early mornings and late night lane swimming sessions at the local leisure centre.

Before this year I was genuinely very scared of swimming in open water...and things touching me in the water...Happy to say Ive been swimming without a wetsuit and without shoes, although that will change for September temperatures...I've used this as an opportunity to enrich my own life experiences too :)

This is for a great charity that provides swimming lessons for disabled children - a taken for granted activity that can help with fun, enjoyment, enrichment, enhanced mobility, and many other things...

Every £15 you donate funds one life-changing lesson.

We really appreciate any donation - thank you <3
