2 years ago I decided to attempt to swim the English Channel, this was not a child hood dream, not a mid life crisis, just a way of getting of my behind and doing something a little bit challenging!
I started by swimming A LOT I joined Eltham Training and Swimming Club, and met other would be English Channel and Open Water swimmers. In a nutshell - I swam the English Channel as part of a 6 person relay in 2008. (More of that on my next instalment!)
Last year 2009 I was supposed to swim the English Channel on a solo attempt. I had to pull-out. (More on that on future instalments - but just to keep you interested - it involved a wasp, a wall and a spur??)
I am now scheduled to swim the first week of September 2010. The following blog(s) (my first attempt)will chart the progress.
I do have a donation page: www.justgiving.com/romax-demelza feel free to donate!
I hope you enjoy.....
