Finished!
Thanks to everyone who sponsored me. I finished the swim on Mother's Day, with Teddy swimming the final 50m with me.Penultimate swim done
1.5km done today. Distance has definitely got easier over the month. Final 1km planned for Mother's Day...1.5km today
Increased my distance to 1.5k and, for the first time in about 25 years, did a tumble turn! Ended up sort of the right way round, so didn't feel like a total idiot.Half way!
Third and fourth kilometers now done. The trouble seems to be finding the time. I am going to try some longer swims and will hopefully not have to resort to doggy-paddle.Second 1km swim done
Second 1km swim done = 2km down, 6km to go.First swim done!
A nice start to the week with a 1km swim. The only slight glitch was realising after the first length that my new ‘swim lap counter’ was evidently meant for coaches…not waterproof!I’m swimming 8km in March for GOSH Charity (not in one go)!
I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this March to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).
Teddy was diagnosed with an aortic arch when I was 20 weeks pregnant. He ended up having heart surgery when he was two. Teddy was amazingly brave and recovered incredibly quickly. During our short stay at GOSH, we met many children who were not so fortunate.
The money raised will help 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.
Thanks
Emma

Dear Mummy, I give you £5 for raising money for the hospital that i went to. Remember to breathe to the side.
Couldn't resist the thumbs-up with that wicked smile. Enjoy the swim
