I like to take part in Immerse Hebrides annual Chilly Challenge but this year I'm taking my challenge to the max!
This year I have taken on the 'Shark' challenge and unlike previous challenges this is not about distance but about frequency ... here are the rules:
Swim or dip FIVE times per week from 1st November 2024 until 31st March 2025. Each swim must be undertaken outdoors in water temperatures of 10 degrees celsius or below. Distance or time is not relevant here and you can wear any swim attire you like, wetsuit or swimwear.
For my part I will do this challenge without a wetsuit and in total it will mean that I will swim/dip 105 times this winter and probably mainly here in Harris ... saves me having to carry a thermometer as it will always be below 10 through the winter!
I am raising funds for 4 charities important to me personally:
Bethesda Hospice
The Brain Tumour Charity
MND Scotland
RNLI
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving team page - I have one page for each charity if you want to spread your donation please give to each page.
