"Swim the river. Change a life."

Next summer I’m taking on one of the UK’s most iconic open water swims, a tidal journey through the stunning Aune Estuary in South Devon. It's a proper challenge. Fast-flowing water, beautiful scenery, and hundreds of swimmers taking on the 6km swim.

I'm doing it to raise money for Level Water – a charity providing 1-to-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities. Every £15 raised gives a child the chance to learn to swim. If you can, please sponsor me – it really will make a difference.
