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!

Another 90 lengths in today

Thursday 20th Nov
I made the most of another midday swim whilst I’m on annual leave. It really is lovely how quiet the pool is in the week! I managed to sneak a few extra minutes in the pool today which helped me get to 90 lengths. I’m gonna keep going!

90 lengths!

Tuesday 18th Nov
I made the most of a midday swim today (the joys of annual leave). I’m not quite sure where I got my energy from  as I’ve never been able to achieve 90 lengths in just over an hour. I’m well proud of myself.

Target achieved!

Sunday 16th Nov
Hey! I’ve swam my 15km that I’d set out to do… had a great swim. I’m feeling very accomplished!

First swim for week 2

Tuesday 11th Nov
I’m feeling really refreshed after the first swim of the week. It’s a shame the swim session is only for an hour as I could have kept going!  78 lengths tonight, not too shabby… bring on Thursday!!!

Sunday swim complete

Sunday 9th Nov
Who said Sunday was the day of rest? It hasn’t been here. Very happy to be over halfway now! It was busier in the pool today, but still managed 74 lengths.

Swim no. 3

Saturday 8th Nov
Aren’t Saturdays the best day for a swim?! Well, they seem to be for me. There’s less people in the pool and I can just thrash out my 80 lengths. I’m certainly knackered after that, so I’m now taking it easy for the rest of the day. The plan is for me to do another swim tomorrow at 11am!

Second swim complete

Thursday 6th Nov
I definitely felt against the clock tonight as I wanted to be back at 9pm for celebrity traitors! Still managed to do 80 lengths though so I’m pleased. I’m gearing up for a double swim session on Saturday & Sunday! Let’s do this…

My first swim

Tuesday 4th Nov
So, tonight was my first swim & I’m feeling rather chuffed with myself. I was aiming for 70 lengths, but the pool wasn’t too busy so I decided to push myself and go for 80! Ended up doing 82! That’s the most I’ve done in an hour. Anyway, it’s a good start and I’m looking forward to my next swim on Thursday.
