Hi all,

I have just signed myself up to Swim22 Diabetes UK's channel swim pool challenge where participants swim 22 miles 😱 (the distance across the English Channel) in the convenience of my local swimming pool.

I will be taking part in the Swim22 challenge between 22 April and 22 July 2012.

As I swim 3-4 times a week I thought why not, now I am a little worried 🙂 wish me luck!
 
You are young and fit, I am sure you will do well.
 
Good luck and good for you...............😉
 
Wow! That's brilliant Emma! 🙂 I'd struggle with one length these days, don't think I've been swimming since 1991 😱

Good luck! 🙂
 
Good luck Emma 🙂
 
Emma thats brillaint well done you , good luck xx
 
Awesome! well done, I'm sure it will be fine just keep up the swimming! 🙂
 
Great Emma! K and I are thinking of doing that but I haven't looked into it properly - I think you keep track of how 'far' you have swum using a tracker on DUK's site? If you find out the lenghth of your pool then just put in how many lenghths you do each time?

Think kids and the 'not so fit' (like me😉) can just do widths or whatever. Think it's a great idea. Need to make sure I can get 'her majesty ' a new costume she likes before we commit to doing it.

Perhaps we three can be 'virtual swim buddies' 🙂
 
I wish you all the very best.
 
Thanks everyone 🙂

Meanmom- Yes that is exactly how it works 🙂 so you can also find out how many you have left to do! I think you should go for it. I'll be your virtual swim buddie😉

Is anyone else going to be doing this event?
