Swim 8km in October 2025

My target 8 kms

Changing pools

So, I've bitten the bullet and committed to joining the Holiday Inn Fitness Centre.  It may be for longer than needed! but at least I'm not tied to the 50 minutes at lunchtime routine at the local school pool...and the changing room is drier!! 🦆

I’m swimming 8km in October for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself (unbelievably) to swim 8km this October to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).  This is my way of saying thank you to GOSH who saved our then 12-year-old granddaughter's life by operating to remove a brain tumour and who continue to care and watch over her until she is 18.
Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I swim, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

My first day and first swim. just 480 metres that means a lot more to go if I'm to achieve the 8K target!

Wow, this is a new one, Charlotte. I believe with your hard work and dedication, you can complete any task. Give up the pushbike for a while and start swimming; most of all, enjoy.
