2 years ago I decided to sign up for ‘Swimming Improver’ lessons to learn how to front crawl and I’ve never looked back!

Although slow and somewhat lacking technique, I’ve fallen in love with open water swimming and have tried to continually challenge to push myself out of my comfort zone!

With a group of likeminded individuals, I have decided to take on my biggest chllenge yet - a 24 hour relay event to raise money for Level Water – a charity that gives children with disabilities the chance to learn to swim. I believe learning to swim is a fundamental skill that everyone should have access to and I’m proud to be raising money for such an important cause.

Swimming in the dark is something that really scares me but I’m looking forward to facing that fear and being part of such an epic event!
