We support people with Spinal Cord Injury to help them live full, independent lives

Story

We are six endurance outdoor swimmers who train together at Jesus Green lido in Cambridge. Swimming binds our friendship together. On 1 August, we became the first Aspire team to swim Loch Ness north to south (Lochend to Fort Augustus) and the first one to do so through the night. Our time was 13h 26m. We stuck to the rules: hourly rotations, swimsuits only, no neoprene. Dirk is our team mentor. His challenge this year is swimming around Manhattan.
