Story

I took up open water swimming in the summer of 2020, but have never had the chance to swim through the winter months. In January 2021, we were in lockdown and last year, after catching Covid, I couldn't climb the stairs without getting out of breath!

Since then, I have been suffering with Long Covid. I'm still not better, but I'm better than I was. Swimming is one of the only types of exercise that my body can tolerate (and there is some evidence that cold water is good for recovery!) Luckily, I've had really good support from my clinic and want others to get the help they need too. So I have decided to raise money for Long Covid SOS, by doing at least 5 dips this winter.

Thank you for your sponsorship.
