Bringing the joy of swimming to children with disabilities.

UPDATE

Chillswim Windermere 2024 - the longest swim in England at 11 miles (18k) - I did it!

On my 63rd birthday I defied my (controlled) diabetes, under active thyroid, high blood pressure (that's enough ailments!) for more than seven non-stop, gruelling hours. Why?!

The first splash. The holding your breath. The echoes of laughter. The wet hair. The lifted spirits. The joy of gliding through water. The smile that lasts all day.

Swimming is like nothing else. The skills you develop, the confidence you build and the joys you feel are all universal. Yet access to swimming in the UK is not.

At Level Water, they use the power of swimming to improve lives for children with disabilities.

Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim and fall in love with the water.

Thanks to everyone who sent encouragement, best wishes and especially to those who supported this wonderful cause.
