I have wanted to swim the channel for the last two years. I have been training hard and I have spent this winter in ice baths to get my body used to the cold. It’s been really difficult especially in the snow! I love swimming in the open sea with my team mates. Being part of an amazing team is just brilliant. Being in the swim squad and swimming for such an important cause makes it even better. Please support me if you can.
