This year I am aiming to swim for 6-8 out of the 24 hours. This is a significant challenge especially given the fact that the water is still cold as we enter May!!

I am raising money for level water to help enable children with disabilities to learn life saving skills and also receive the therapeutic benefits of water which may not be normally available to them.

Swimming is like nothing else. The skills you develop, the confidence you build and the joys you feel are all universal. Yet access to swimming in the UK is not.

At Level Water, we use the power of swimming to improve lives for children with disabilities.

Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim and fall in love with the water.

We are all keen open water swimmers who have found friends, fun and joy through being in the water. We want to raise money so more people can have that fun and freedom.
