It has been a few years since I have swum a respectable distance for charity (mainly due to becoming a mother), so I am taking part in myswimathon so I can carry out the swim on a day that suits me, and at an open water, or outdoor venue. 

I train all year (mainly in the winter as it is the best time for outdoor swimmers), and I love the cold water. I have swum for over 35 years and taken part in many charity events over the last 10 years. 

My selected venue is Charlton lido, and the proposed date for the Triple 5k swim is 5 April 2019.

Any updates will be posted here.
