COMPLETED - Yippee!
On Wed 26 November we completed 1416 lengths of the Winchester River Park Leisure Centre pool. When I took on the challenge I had no idea I would be able to complete, as I am not that good a swimmer.
Its quite something being able to improve and challenge yourself, even better when its for such a good cause.
Thanks to the leisure centre we were allowed to take some shots to prove we were actually in the water swimming (don't look too hard at our technique :o) Do support us in our quest to raise £1K.
Thank you so much, now guess I had better start swimming back......!

Monday 3 November 2014 Update – passed 1,000 lengths milestone, well on my way now with only 4 weeks more swimming to go, keep going Susan! :o)
23 Oct 2014 Update – Thursday 23 October 2014 Update – 37 days to go and 751 lengths/11.7 miles done.
I must admit I am aware of all muscles and bone aches and that’s just swimming. Imagine how the money we raise will help those who are not able to move at all. Over 5,000 people are taking part in this challenge, do get involved and support us.
6 Oct 2014 Update - 4 weeks in and 25% complete and managing to now swim 64 lengths/1 mile each session. I have now completed 515 lengths (8 miles), "….getting there!"
22 Sept 2014 Update - After 2 weeks of swimming almost every other day and managing to keep on target, I have now completed 255 lengths (3.5miles), slowly but surely getting there.
8 Sept 2014 - START: I will swim 22 miles in the next 12 weeks. At the moment I am only able to get 34-44 lengths completed which means I'm going at least 3 times a week. I am determined to get ahead of myself, else I will sink, literally, but its hard work! that's for sure.
Do support me and the very good cause!
