Our current little ‘inconvenience’ has put paid to any plans I had for a bigger swim so this looked like a good way to get back into the swing of things and do some good at the same time. I’m aiming to swim 5km, not as far as previous swims however the furthest I can swim in training is 3km so it will still be a challenge.

It would be great if you could sponsor me and help disabled children learn to swim well enough to join their friends in mainstream swimming lessons.

The lakes of the UK and the Outdoor Swimming Society are supporting Level Water in their mission to provide bespoke, 1-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities across the UK. Level Water want a world where everyone has access to swimming. For life. By donating to this challenge you are helping to make sure that, once pools have re-opened, lessons can continue straight away and children can continue to learn this life changing skill.
