About me
Swimming outdoors has always been part of my life. Our family holidays were in and around water, and I swam in the sea, lakes, streams, rivers, and once, a murky well in the Forest of Dean!
In 2009, I started teaching for Water Babies. Little did I know where it would take me.
​
I did my first official open water swim in 2015, the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere. Since then, I have taken part in the Dart 10k, Bournemouth Pier to Pier and Winter Swimming World Championships.
Open water swimming is very special: a unique activity, wonderful community and seemingly endless benefits for your health and well-being.
I hope you'll join me.
