I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge

In August I took a crash course to learn to swim now I’m taking part in the November Swim Challenge for Dementia UK and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

£33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Tracker issues

Saturday 4th Oct
Please ignore the current total. Been issue with adding my Garmin tracker. It's added all my walks making it look like I have completed the challenge when I have not started yet. I have requested that they reset it for me but not heard back from them yet.. hopefully it will get sorted and I will keep you updated with my actual swim progress 🫶 

Lengths required

Friday 3rd Oct
5 km in a 20 meter pool is about 250 lengths. In smaller sessions that would be about 31 lengths in 8 sessions during November 💙 currently the most lengths has been 27 so I have little more practice during October to reach that target 🥰

Crash course

Thursday 2nd Oct
In August I completed an adult crash course in swimming. Since then week by week I have slowly been making waves and improving my swimming. Swim November will help keep my motivation going while raising money for a great charity.

Thank you to my Sponsors
