Story

I'm going to race Mark Foster, who used to be the fastest swimmer in the world. He had the world record for 50m frontcrawl... but this race is 1.25km so I might just have a chance of beating him (as long as I can avoid the eels and the pike!)

I believe every child should have a fair start in sport.

Daisy is five and has Cerebral Palsy. It is hard for her to play sport with her friends. Last year Daisy went to the Paralympics and watched her hero win Gold in the swimming. She wants to do the same, but neither her school nor her local pool could teach her to swim. Level Water has given Daisy one term of one-to-one lessons. Daisy is now physically independent in the water and has the same opportunities as any other child. She can swim with her friends and take the sport as far as she likes. Maybe she'll have her own Paralympic Gold in a few years' time.

Level Water is a Paralympic Legacy charity that gives kids like Daisy a fair start in sport. They do the local grassroots work accross the UK to make sure no child misses their opportunity. Every year 3,000 kids like Daisy need help to get into sport, so please donate now!
