Aspire Chanel Swim Challenge- with a twist!

Welcome to the blog where I'll be telling you about my aspire channel swim challenge!



You'll probably know by now but I'll explain, the Aspire channel swim raises money for a spinal chord injuries charity, participants swim 22 miles in their local pool over 12 weeks. http://www.aspirechannelswim.co.uk/



I have decided to swim 44 miles, in 22 pools over the next 12 weeks to try to gain as much sponsorship as possible!



Aspire work with people who have sustained a spinal chord injury, the NHS can only provide so much. Aspire assist with independent living, provide adapted stop gap housing for when people get out of hospital, assistive technology (so that anyone, regardless of the level of their injury can use a computer), they provide human needs grants to assist with the purchase of much needed equipment and they work in sports development, amongst other things. Please, please read their website- this is a very worthy cause. http://www.aspire.org.uk/

Monday 21st November - Darlaston Swimming Pool


I forgot to get my receipt! That is only twice in 38 swims so dont sack me this late in the game please! The main thing I like about EDarlaston baths is that they roped off a lane even though it was a public swim not a lane swim- it really narks me that more pools dont do that seen as many people go to pools to do lengthsanother great thing about Darlaston is that they have cubicles where you can shower in private, there are so many modern pools where you find yourself showering on the poolside and or them being unisex showers- no likey!

36.75 Miles, 20 pools
