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.

My Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia last year. Whilst we are on an even keel at the moment, I know things will get harder as time rolls on.

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

Thank you!

Last session this week

Friday 6th Nov

1155 meters today

No weekend sessions this week so the total for this week is 7185 meters.

I’m also thrilled with the sponsorship raised so thank you all 😁🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

60 minute session today

Thursday 5th Nov

….well it was slightly less than that because we weren’t let into the pool on time, but hey ho.

I was pleased to keep up a good pace throughout (and keep counting the lengths in my head) and I actually did more than double my previous 30 minute session distances. I did 2505 meters today, bringing the total so far up to 6030 meters.

Really pleased with that 😁

Wednesday

Wednesday 4th Nov

Another 1155 meters today, brings the total up to 3525 meters.

Tomorrow I plan to do an hour at the pool so it will be interesting to see if I manage double today’s total or if I start flagging and slow down.

Tuesday

Tuesday 3rd Nov

1155 meters today.

…..and we’re off!

Monday 2nd Nov

Day 1 (2nd Nov)

Early morning swim, nothing like it to start the week/day.

Counting lengths in my head was fine today, a great start to the challenge.

1215 meters.

Once I work out how to put it on the graph above, I’ll do that!
