Support my challenge to swim for breast cancer!

9 people in Australia die from breast cancer every single day.

This November, I am taking part in Swim For Breast Cancer to raise funds for research into this hideous disease. 

For those of you who know me well will know that even though my kids are great swimmers, it is not my forte, and this task is a bit daunting to say the least. But as always, I'm up for a challenge!  

Please help me in my quest and make a donation - every little bit counts!

Thank you for your support.

Day 4

Tuesday 4th Nov
I decided to measure the pool today after finding out the 25 metres I thought it was, was in fact a guesstimate!’ The pool is actually 20 metres which meant I hadn’t swam as far as I thought.   So today’s challenge was to make up the difference, which I did except for 3 laps which I will catch up tomorrow.  I actually swam 37 laps but recorded 30. 
Today’s swim felt easier even though my arms are a bit sore.  Still had to do the run before so the water didn’t feel cold .  That strategy seems to work well.  

Day 3 - Monday 3 November 2025

Tuesday 4th Nov
Rest day - upper body muscles were screaming at me!!!

Second day

Sunday 2nd Nov
Surprisingly, my arms muscles were not sore this morning.  My goal for today was to do another 300 metres, but once I started I boosted my goal and ended up doing 700 metres!  My total is now 1 km.  An added bonus, I met a lovely couple in the pool area who donated to the cause.  Win-win today.  

First swim.

Saturday 1st Nov
Well, I have started the challenge!  I must admit, I was very nervous about it.  I went for a 3 km run prior so the pool would feel refreshing and not freezing- I really don’t like cold water!  I am lucky enough to have a 25 metre pool in my complex and I was aiming for 2 laps for my first swim.   But yay me, I managed 12.  ?.  I probably could have done more, but I didn’t want my arms to be sore tomorrow.
