Swim for Cake
We are 4 women swimming the English Channel as a relay team in July 2023. To be able to attempt a Channel crossing is something we are very excited about, particularly as we have each undergone major surgery to overcome injuries or physical issues. This includes shoulder surgery, two hysterectomies and four knee operations. The majority of these surgeries occurred in 2022. We are an incredibly determined group of women. Individually and as a team we have completed a number of endurance events throughout the last year, highlighting our resilience and commitment to achieving our goals.
We are raising money for 3 charities: ‘Birth Trauma’, ‘Young Minds’ and ‘100 and First Foundation’. They are all very different charities but all very important to us and relevant to our lives and personal experiences.
By donating today, you are helping to support 3 incredibly important charities.
Acclimatising to the cold water

Training Update
With our qualifier just around the corner, we have upped our open water training. We have gradually been increasing time spent in the cold water over the past couple of months. We are acclimatising ready for our 90 minute swim next weekend, followed by a further 60 minute swim, with a break in between to warm up!
This may actually be tougher than the channel swim itself! 90 minutes of swimming at below 15 degrees Celsius is defintely going to be a test of our physical and mental resilience. Wish us lots of luck and warm weather!!
