Ali Fish, 42, is taking part in Swim22 – a challenge which gives swimmers three months to swim 22 miles in their local pool, either by themselves or by splitting the distance with teammates.
She is taking part to raise awareness of the condition and boost funds for the charity, because three generations of her family, including her eight-year-old niece and a friend’s 13-year-old son are affected by type 1 diabetes.
Having taken part in the challenge for the first time last year and thoroughly enjoyed it, the swimming teacher for Seals Swimming Ltd in Cambridge said: “I wanted to use the challenge to get back into swimming regularly again, taking part in the sport I love while helping to support the people I love.
“I completed the swim in 2015 in 14 swims over six weeks, raised over £1,000 and have continued to swim regularly since.
