Ok I've done something rash...
With hockey season over I was getting fidgety and needed something to do. So 2 weeks ago I took the leap and signed up for an old favourite swim of mine, the Clovelly 2 mile Sea Swim. This is in aid of the RNLI and their awesomeness.
Why this swim?
1 - Clovelly is BEAUTIFUL! And swimming there is my happy place.
2 - Most importantly my Brother volunteers with the Clovelly RNLI Crew and so this crew in particular is very important to us.
3 - Clovelly is in a prime location for the RNLI and what they do, this crew helps out so many sea fairing folk, all along their day jobs as well.
BUT there's a few issues...
1 - I haven't swam any real distance since I was pregnant with our eldest (9 years ago!)
2 - I HAVE to wear a wetsuit, which I HATE but am willing to overlook (we've also had to buy one lol)
3 - The last time I wore a wetsuit was 12 years ago, it's going to take some getting used to!!
4 - I can't get to the sea or pool to train so our back garden it is! (Check out the vids π
)
All in all l'd like to raise some money for my lil Bro and his Crew to help them keep providing the important work they do.
HUGE thanks in advance!!
