ADOWS Ducks is a team made up of disabled and non disabled swimmers taking on a 24 hour relay team, each member of the team will swim for an hour at a time in turn for 24 hours.

The challenge is in the endurance, the team work and camaraderie to support each other for the duration. It’s the 2am cold swims when we just want to sleep. It’s the hugs of relief at the end of each hour knowing we have just ticked another hour off.

It’s being huddled around the fire pit with a hot chocolate and dancing to keep warm. It’s cheering the sunrise.

We are doing it to raise money for Level Water who provide 1-to-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities. Children like us, who love the water but face challenges to access it. It’s knowing that, one day, they might be able to take part in this challenge with their friends or family because of your donations and support.

One lesson costs just £15. please give what you can to support me!
