Story

I did it! It took me 3 hours & 25 minutes to swim 10 kilometres butterfly!

A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored me; it means a lot. I am extremely proud to have raised such a phenomenal amount! (which will be matched!).

I have put in a huge amount of training beforehand which gave me immense confidence that I could achieve this epic challenge - even with all the training, the last 2.5 kilometres was really tough! The sense of achievement to swim that distance butterfly is phenomenal. Indeed a very special achievement and something I will always take with me.
