Hi All,

I am taking part in Swim22 Diabetes UK's channel swim pool challenge where I will be swimming 22 miles (the distance across the English Channel) in the convenience of my local swimming pool. It started yesterday 22nd April and it runs until the 22nd July 2012.

So far I have raised ?110 which I am very pleased with 🙂 and I would love to raise a bit more money if possible so if anyone else is able to sponsor me I would be very grateful.

I managed 30 lengths yesterday so I now have 1043 lengths left to go, I am swimming tonight so I hope to manage another 30 then.

I will keep you all posted on how I progress over the next few months.
 
Good luck Emma, and what a great start 🙂 That's an awful lot of swimming! Hope you raise lots more! 🙂
 
Emma -hi - you may remember I mentioned K and I were thinking of doing this - til we worked out how many lengths it was 😱 As neither of us have done much (any) exercise for a few months we chickened out I'm afraid.

So really admire what you are doing - perhaps you could re post your Just Giving Link please? Will see what I can find down the back of the sofa

Well done so far 🙂

I did 30 lengths last night and I have been to the pool again this morning and have done another 30 lengths so that brings the total to 90 lengths done in 3 days and I now have 983 lengths left to do🙂 thanks everyone for your support x
