Barnardo's are challenging children, young people, friends and families to go on an incredible Indoor Adventure! We're asking you to get creative in your own home, have some fun and raise money for Barnardo's vital work supporting the UK's most vulnerable children.
Lockdown has meant that we are unable to carry out alot of our usual activities. I am signed up to swim the length of windermere in September. Although lockdown may have eased by then I cannot access any of my usual swim training amenities. As a bit of a laugh I decided to try swimming in the hot tub and with a few tweaks and bits of equipment we had, have managed to set up a static swim facility. As training could be a little tedious I thought I'd set this up to try and raise some money through my exploits for children who are suffering additional hardship during this awful time. I started with the idea of swimming 1 mile a day for 10 days but have decided to extend that and now plan to try and swim 2 miles for 5 days the following week, then 3 miles for 3 days the next week and then 5 miles for 2 days. I know everyone is going through a tough time and some may not be able to support me and please only do so if you're able. Any amount I can raise will help however small. Thank you Wendy
