Don't worry, I'm not swimming the real channel (my mum won't let me). The challenge I am doing (I am swimming the distance of the channel in the swimming pool. This is 1416 lengths. It is a team effort.) is still not easy. Sometimes I wish l didn’t have to go swimming day in and day out. My mum and I are not very sporty and I am not a good swimmer. At one point I felt like giving up.This is a big challenge, but I will persevere with it and succeed!
