March Mad Medley Mile Swim · 24 March 2024

We need to charter yachts and pay deposits for the 2024 sailing season. Only by doing this can we secure the boats needed, plan and promote the trips to the visually impaired community. By contributing you help us commit to the events.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have always been confident in the water. Happy to jump into the sea and bob about in a fashion. This year I have decided to place myself out of my depth and swim a mile. I have been to swimming classes and learnt to do front crawl, improved my breast stroke and back stroke. On the 24th March I am going to set a personal best for the Mad Medley Mile, doing 2 lengths of each stroke in rotation until I get to:

60 lengths - A swimming mile

65 lengths - A land mile

and if there is enough in the tank.....

74 lengths - A nautical mile

I first met the VISA GB Bunch in 2022 and was blown away by the charity and the experiences they provide for people with visual impairment. A mix of sighted, visaully impaired and blind set out on the seas to learn to sail.
