I'm a little late to this one but am super excited to get the chance to swim as part of a 24hr event, swimming day into night into day! It'll be a big challenge for a great cause.
I'm equally excited to fundraise for Level Water, I've always taken swimming for granted and believe it's a great life skill that opens up avenues all through your life. The charity provide one-to-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities, then help them join group lessons and succeed in these. They believe that children with disabilities should not be excluded from sport. The lessons are a powerful tool to help children with disabilities develop physical skills, become socially included and build self-esteem and resilience.
So if you can spare any money please support my fundraising and support a great charity.
From Level Water:
The first splash. Holding your breath. The echoes of laughter. The wet hair. Lifted spirits. The joy of gliding through water. The smile that lasts all day.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. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim and fall in love with the water.
