Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Phil Jameson and on 3rd September I am swimming the full length of Windemere in the Lake District. Its the longest lake in England which is 11 miles in length. I used to do triathlon events in my early 20’s but after a few years of little exercise due having a young family and covid lockdowns I bit the bullet and entered an event which is a massive challenge for me. 

 About 5 years ago I supported a swimmer who did the event by kayaking the 11 miles next to him and I was really inspired as there were all shapes and sizes doing the event and I thought I would love to try it. 

 The swim distance is like running an ultra marathon for 60 miles so it really will be a physical and mental challenge. Training has been going well and I have been able to train with my dad for some of it. We are triathlon coaches for our family business. We have helped support people in their own personal aims and now its my turn to follow a programme so that hopefully I turn up to the event in the best position for me.

I am raising money for Charlotte Straker and Elswick Community Pool and Gym as both organisations were hit by COVID and they are vital for their community and support some well deserving people.
