I'm swimming for Dementia UK

In memory of my Dad 💙 I have chosen to swim 3 miles (194 lengths) to represent the 3 month sudden decline of his health due to Dementia/Alzheimers. I'm taking on this 30-Day Swimming Challenge, helping to raise funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone.  I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity. I will be and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Got to wear my attractive swim cap 🤪🤭Disappointed in today's swim 🏊‍♀️ couple of factors meant things weren't as smooth! Water was freezing so took a couple of lengths to warm up, lane was busier than usual so had to break the flow of the swim so not to bump people and a family joining the pool, not realising it's solely lane not public swim so Manager/customer 'chat' started, and that point i lost the plot!! 3 lengths shy of 60 🥺 Hopefully next week will be better and remembering my Dads journey was up and down.
