I am swimming 10km UP the the tempestuous Afon Mawddach in September 2025. That's 10,000 m!

Whilst doing this I am raising money so children with disabilities can enjoy the water as much as I do.

Level Water use the power of swimming to improve lives for children with disabilities. They are already helping over 1000 children to swim at 300 locations around the UK. But there is a waiting list of 4000 children wanting to experience the joy of swimming which is why I am raising money.

I have swum a 10km swimming marathon once before in 2023 but that was in a calm river Dart. It was a 3 hour swim for me and on the limit of my capabilities. The Avon Mawddach 10k swim is called the Hurly Burly because it a difficult turbulent / rough water swim starting in the sea at Barmouth. It will be a big challenge for me and i have been training hard throughout the summer. Once again I will be doing the swim with my daughter Jo who is also raising money for Level Water.

Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim and fall in love with the water. Please support us in this epic challenge by donating.
