Just Keep Swimming!

November Swimming Challenge 2025

We did it!

We did it!! 5k complete!! 200 lengths each over the last few weeks and we have raised over our £400 target! Thank you!! There is still time to donate if you’d like to, but thank you to everyone who has supported us already! Thanks to our family for coming to support us whilst we did our last few lengths this morning and celebrated with us when we had finished! 

4k done!

Another swim today brings us up to 4k complete! Only 1k left to go, that's another 40 lengths to complete the challenge!  

3k done!

We completed our 3rd swim today and completed another 40 lengths each so that is a full 120 lengths we have swam so far! #justkeepswimming!!

1km complete!

We completed our first swim and we both did 40 lengths, that’s 1km done each! 

Challenge Extended!!

Right guys, Barri and I have been for 2 practice swims and we think we can extend the distance to 5k! THATS 200 LENGTHS!! OMG now this is going to be even more of a challenge, but we are going to do it for this great cause!! Here we go! We are starting our first challenge swim on Wednesday 5th November, so wish us luck and get donating!! 

Just Keep Swimming!

We are taking on the Sands Swimming challenge this November to raise awareness and funds for this wonderful charity helping people, like our own family who have lost precious babies. We are doing the challenge to remember our nephews and nieces; Simba, Gracie and Teddy. Swimming 80 lengths each will be a challenge for us and so the completion will be extra rewarding. Please support us if you are able, because every penny counts to support the great work Sands do.   

We're swimming in November for families facing baby loss

We’ve committed to swimming in November for every much-loved baby sadly not here today. Especially for our nephews and nieces; Simba, Gracie and Teddy. 

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.
