Story

If you know me then you know that I love a swim. I coach at Bishop's Stortford Swim Club and I swim competitively (some times). Swimming is , and has been, a huge part of my life. I can't imagine life without a dip now and then, obviously wearing two pairs of trunks as you do if you swam in th 80's....

So I've decided to raise some money for Level Water who offer high quality , one to one swim teaching for children with disabilities.

I've teamed up with some incredible Saffron Walden swimmers and our aim is to swim a continuous relay OVERNIGHT from dusk 'till dawn at Jesus Green pool Cambridge.We are all founder members of Walden Open Water [WOW!] and we are training hard for this event.

I haven't asked for sponsorship since I was last a coach at BSSC back in 1998 - when I bungee jumped in a pub car park. I survived and raised £48 for club funds. I am hoping to beat that this time.

Every £15 you donate funds one life-changing lesson. That’s why I’m doing this. That’s why your support means so much. And if I raise £500 I'll get another tattoo - see pic.....
