I've always been a swimmer. But in a pool. In the last couple of years I've become an outdoor swimmer. It has helped my health immensely, both mentally and physically. I'd always loved the thought of swimming the Channel, and jumped at the opportunity when it arose. It's going to be a huge challenge, but we're going to have a lot of fun and raise a lot of money for an amazing charity.

I’ve teamed up with 5 other ladies so we are all in this together! All 6 of us swim at the magnificent New Bath Hotel pool - one of a kind. A spring fed swimming pool, no chemicals and naturally heated. And it’s outdoors. So the perfect training ground for us through the winter. 

When we met the team behind the charity Aspire they told us about the work they do. Aspire provides practical help to people who have been paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury, supporting them from injury to independence. It’s mind blowing the work they have done. 

Aspire have allocated us our boat leader and boat - it’s all getting very real!

Keep an eye out for more stories into our training here. And thank you.
