We are four Brixham friends who are all over 60 and still up for a challenge! The ladies are all part of Masters race teams for Brixham Gig Club and Steve is Sarah’s husband, a keen sailor and swimmer.

We decided we needed a new challenge and have been in training since October!

We’re excited to see what we can achieve for this worthy cause.

Swim the river. Change a life.

This summer we’re taking on one of the UK’s most iconic open water swims, a tidal journey through the stunning Aune Estuary in South Devon.

It’s a proper challenge. Fast-flowing water, beautiful scenery, and hundreds of swimmers all chasing that final moment: I did it.

We’re doing it to raise money for Level Water – a brilliant charity providing 1-to-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities. These lessons are joyful, empowering, and completely life-changing.

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

If you can, please sponsor us - it really will make a difference.
