Having had major shoulder surgery in Jan 2018 that has left me struggling through rehab returning to the pool was hard. In August I couldn't even swim a length during rehab, today I still don't have full movement and swim a bit like a deranged walrus. With family having been diagnosed with Diabetes it is a real risk for me so I'm keen to stay fit and healthy. This challenge is something pre injury that wouldn't have been a challenge but would have been the norm. Now it is a big challenge, one that hopefully will assist my further rehab on the shoulder whilst being for a good cause. Concurrently I will in March be doing a 5km swim for Cancer Research too, (that's 200 lengths in one go, bare in mind only just back in pool!) for which there will be a separate page - meaning you can pick your preferred of the two charities if you want to support me or them.
