hi every1, just to let you know im doing a sponsored swim on sunday 16th july for sport relief. i cant run in the event as i have a broken toe but ive been given the all clear to swim the mile instead.
i shall be swimming 64 lengths from 10am in the morning, and have had interest from the clevedon mercury newspaper and GWR fm radio station. the paper is coming to take my picture and do a feature on the swim on tuesday at 5pm, and the manager of the pool said i can leave my sponsor form behind the desk too!!!

Thats absolutely great Caz I feel such a slouch in comparison as their was a time I could of swam this - I had a bronze life saving badge etc and surfed- but now I doubt if would manage 4 lengths certainly not 40! But well done you! Do you have a picture you can put on our blog? pni-org.blogspot.com/or in here ? If you want to do this you can either become a member of the blog - I would have to invite you - and do it yourself , or you can send the picture to me and I will do it. It would be fine if you do not want to or do not want to identify yourself as a member of this forum or having PNI 0 if so I totally understand as many would rather it not be known - not there is much change of anyone you know not form this forum reading our blog anyway - but I suppose you never know it could happen that someone found it accidentally I guess! But anyway, let me know if you want to post your picture Well done again - how much did you raise? Love Veritee |

IM IN THE PAPER!!!! AND IM THIN!!!! YEAH!!!! sorry lol. they took a lovely pic,and have used up 2 paragraphs on my story:
clevedon mum caroline fletcher, 26, usually only goes swimming at water baby classes at strode leisure centre with her son cavan. but she stepped up her efforts on sunday in aid of sport relief, swimming a mile, 64 lengths, in 75 minutes. caroline, of cavell court,said "it was really hard work but i did enjoy it and would consider doing something similar in the future". caroline, who works at tesco, said she hoped to raise £60 from the swim.
so theres me, in the paper lol.
