Thank you for reading this! Along with 7 swimmers from the swimming lesson I teach, we are swimming for 24 hours to raise money so that more children can experience that first splash. Between the 8 of us, one of us will be in the water for a relay of 24 hours! In the cold and the dark - yes, even through the night!

Swimming is like nothing else. The skills you develop, the confidence you build and the joys you feel are all universal. Yet access to swimming in the UK is not.

Level Water use the power of swimming to improve lives for children with disabilities by providing bespoke, 1-1 swimming lessons. £15 pays for a swimming lesson, so even a small donation will make a difference!

Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim and fall in love with the water, which I did and love to help others to do.

Neil, Jan, Denzil, Gerrard, Emily, Claire, Dave and I would appreciate any donation, towards helping disabled children access swimming lessons.

Thank you x
