Enjoy time in the pool and watching F1 on the weekend. When I'm not working or dog walking. What's going on with you?
We've finally reached the half way point on our virtual swim from Dover to Calais! Feels great to reach this milestone. Donations can be made here for Aspire to support people with spinal injuries. Everyone penny helps!

Added near a mile to the Aspire channel swim distance! Tomorrow's swim will put us past the halfway mark. It's a great milestone to be so close to.

Another morning swim done! Just missed the half way mark across the channel swim today but we'll hit it tomorrow! Still feeling motivated to complete the channel swim for Aspire.

Added another 1,000 metres to our Aspire channel swim today. Almost reached the half way mark too!

Last night was a great swim session! Added just under a mile to the channel swim distance, we've almost reached halfway! Still a lot of work to do to get to the end though.

Whew! Another 60 lengths down! Feel like I need a new way to swim, make it more interesting. Feel free to share some ideas

Another productive swim this morning, .9 miles completed! Not as long as my usual swim, had a bit of a later start today but will definitely be looking to get back on form for the rest of the week!

That another mile long swim completed for the Aspire virtual channel swim challenge! Feeling faster and stronger with every swim I complete.

Feeling tired but accomplished. Completed my second mile swim toward the Aspire channel challenge. That's about 30 football fields. Only 20 more miles to go!

Aspire sent out this bright swim cap. Doubt you can miss someone wearing one of these!

It's finally here! The Aspire virtual channel swim has started, logged my first swim of 80 lengths at the pool. Just over a mile completed. Only 21 miles left! How hard can it really get?😅

It's finally starting! Tomorrow is the first of many days I'll be committed to completing the Aspire virtual channel swim. Looking forward to the swimming but not the muscle pain

Another swim training session complete! Was tough after work but worth it! Making the most of my time in the pool before I start my virtual channel swim on 15th September. Looking forward to it!

Hi BlueSky community. As a way to support an amazing charity I'm taking on the Aspire channel swim 2025! I'll be swimming the virtual distance of the English channel, Dover to Calais. A whopping 22 miles over 12 weeks.
