Event: 24hr Swim Relay: Shepperton 2024, from 8 June 2024 to 9 June 2024
The challenge is simple. Gather a team of up to 8 swimmers and swim for an hour each, for 24 hours. It really doesn’t matter what your ability is. It’s not a race, no one is being timed or tracked. You swim as much as you want, as fast as you want.

Story

I am raising money for Level Water by taking part in a 24 hour swim relay with a fantastic team. Our team will complete a swim for every hour of the 24 hours and I will be swimming at least 6 hours.

Level Water is a wonderful charity that works with disabled children to provide the opportunity to learn to swim. Water is a great support for those with physical disabilities - relieving pain and providing opportunities for independence that many of the children may not experience elsewhere. Alongside physical development, swimming is a great support for social and emotional confidence.

As well as the 24 hours swim relay, I will also be doing a solo 14km swim of the length of Lake Orta in northern Italy!

Any donations are greatly appreciated!
