**** UPDATE ****

We have completed the first Great Swim, and it was definately a challenge! We had great fun and both looking forward to swimming in Windermere now. Thanks again everyone for the donations, they are greatly appreciated

*******************************************************************************

 

Ladies and Gentlemen Boys and Girls, Tabitha Sloper and Sharon Lucas will not only be doing One Great Swim but TWO!!!!!!

First Off

15th August 2009, @ 2pm in The Royal Victoria Dock, The Great London Swim

and then

On September the 12th, @ 4pm Lake Windermere, Lake District the Great North Swim.

Both Swims are over a distance of 1 mile (64 lengths of your local swimming baths!) Not a great distance I hear you cry, well no it isnt and me and Tab have swam further before. Infact its 13 years since we did the Swimathon!!! But these swims are a bit different, they are both open water swimming events. Swimming in the Thames in August, will hopefully be nice weather and a good warm up for Windermere. The water will hopefully be around 17 degrees in London but then the BIG challenge, Windermere is a completely different swim. The water in Windermere will be really cold, but we are determined to get through. Neither of us have done any open water swimming before and are both really looking forward to it.

If anyone would like to come and see us swim please feel free, both should be brilliant weekends and drinks are on Sharon at the end :)

We are Swimming for Cancer Research UK, a great charity and any donation you can make will really help us on our way. It is something we really want to do and if we can raise a bit of money for a good cause along the way then its all good!
