Sponsored Swim

About

I've been mulling over what fundraiser I can do to raise some vital funds for SEND Socials over the last few months. Then I had an epiphany! Swimming! 

Before I had kids I was a keen leisure swimmer. It wasn't unusual for me to start the day at work with wet hair after putting in a pre-work mile. But that was many, many moons ago and it's been around 9 years since I did any decent amount of lengths and 10 years since I did a 5k sponsored swim so i'm ready to take on the challenge!

I commit to swim 2022 lengths in March!

That works out at 31.4 miles and just under 80 lengths per day if I swim for 25 days out of the month.

Yikes! 

A huge thank you to Northfield Leisure Centre who have gifted me a two month free swimming pass. February for a bit of training and March for the challenge. 

Another huge thank you to my brother, Lee who has kindly offered to match any donations raised up to the value of £1,500 from his business Wootton & Wootton.

I pushed over the half way mark today! It is getting easier and harder all at the same time!  Fatigue definitely sets in towards the end of the week and each swim is still a challenge. I am a little bit ahead of where I should be at this point, I am pushing myself to over achieve just in case something crops up and means I need to miss a swim.  

Thank you so much for all the donations, it's massively appreciated :-)

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated, it is massively appreciated, especially as I haven't even got wet yet! Training starts next week!  The fact you believe in me is massively motivating, thanks <3. Lisa  xx
