Bantham Swoosh 5k

So it was on my Bucket list 😨

I made my plans at the beginning of the year and this swim was on it, the longest I would of swam and the longest in the water.

As soon as the winter illnesses were over I got in the pool to practice, pushed myself hard and got ill again. 🫣

Friends came with me - 3 inspiring women who I'm very lucky to know, they have followed me and supported me from the beginning of my Swim Aquatics journey. We all trained, together and separately and all had our own fears. 😱

The day came, we all felt sick, I was soo worried I'd have to properly swim heads down for to long. Layerd up with neoprene so not to feel the cold 🥶 we set off with our leaders Coast2Coast.

Unbelievably still we made it, it was truly amazing, we didn't even have to swim alot of it, it was shallow and gentle. A river winding its way past picturesque scenery, at such an accommodating pace. We got to Bantham Harbour just below the car park you start in and the current grabbed us and swooshed us to the beach.

OMG - I want to do it again!!! ❤️🏊‍♀️🧜‍♀️

Thankyou to my fellow swooshers 🥰
