SWIM COMPLETE!!

I HAVE DONE IT!! Officially swam 8km for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. I completed the last 1.2km on Thursday before I set off for a break on holiday, and completely forgot to update the page. I’m so grateful for everyone’s donations and the fact that this challenge has got me back into swimming again is something I won’t take for granted. Thank you for all your support, it means so so much.

COMPLETED IT!! 💕💕

A very peaceful and leisurely swim today

1.8km achieved today, some in the morning and some in the evening. I had a free pass for a gym near me, so went to use that for a change of scenery and it was gorgeous! Swam 1km this morning, used the steam room and the sauna, and then went back to wind down this evening. So after years and years of saying I won’t join the gym, it happened. 
I guess miracles do happen.

Getting there!

2km in one go today!! Really proud of myself for pushing through despite some joint and muscle pain, and very pleased to say that I’m now at 5km total in just 3 swims. 3 more lined up this week, hoping to smash it out of the park by Thursday.

2nd Swim Today!!

Andddddd… we’re back! Only the second swim and we’ve reached 3km!! 1750m swam today, in just over an hour, so the pace has picked up too. Also gained some life advice from 81 year old Josie, who said to never give up swimming and to always go alone 😂. Really impressed with today, and grateful that my mum still came to support me even though it’s mother’s day :)

1st Swim Complete!

Day 1, 1250m completed (50 lengths). The page wouldn’t let me add 0.25 of a kilometre, so you’ll just have to take my word for it 😂. This has made the goal feel so much more achievable, and I feel so accomplished this morning. Big thanks to my brother for coming with me, and my mum for coming to watch :)

I’m swimming 8km in March for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity :)

In March 2026, I am swimming 8km (320 lengths) to fundraise for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. 

I understand times are tight, but anything you can donate will make such a huge difference to the lives of children and families that the charity works with. 
Any donation is greatly appreciated.
