2026 November Swim Challenge

I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge

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!

Week One Progress

Sunday 8th Nov
Hi all,
I did 4 days in the pool this week and managed 50 lengths each, a total of 5km. Friday afternoon's swim was challenging as the pool was very busy. It was like being on the Dodgems. Enjoying a relaxing weekend off before hitting the pool again tomorrow morning. Thanks for all your support. L x

Day One

Monday 2nd Nov
First day of the challenge and the first 1.25km (50 x 25m lengths) completed. Only another 550 lengths to go 🤣. 
Wish me luck!

Swimming 15km in Nov to support Dementia Uk

Wednesday 14th Oct
In a moment of weakness I have signed up to swim 15km in November in support of Dementia UK and in memory of my beautiful mum, Elma.
Mum lived with Altzheimers for a number of years and all who loved her, experienced the devastating impact of a dementia diagnosis. Sadly, my mum passed away on Hogmanay 2025. I hope that doing this challenge will go some way to help fight this horrible disease.
Any support you can give would mean so much to me. Thank you
