Swim the river. Change a life.

On the 12th September 2026, I’m taking on one of the UK’s wildest open-water challenges: a 10km cold-water swim near Snowdonia.

It’s a proper test—big nature, beautiful scenery, and hundreds of swimmers all pushing for something epic. And this year… I’m one of them.

I haven’t taken on a sponsored event since my childhood, swimming was a huge part of my life. Over the years, I drifted away from it. But when my brother told me he was signing up for this event, something clicked. After talking with him, I realised now is the time—time to get myself back into shape, reconnect with something I loved, and take on a challenge that means something. Even better, I get to swim this 10k with my brother.

I’m doing this to raise money for Level Water, an incredible charity that provides 1-to-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities. These lessons are joyful, empowering, and genuinely life-changing.

Every £15 raised gives a child the chance to learn to swim.

If you’re able to sponsor me, it would mean a great deal and will honestly keep me motivated!

Thank you.
