Swim for Stroke

I'm taking part in the Swim for Stroke challenge!

I joined #TeamStroke for Swim for Stroke. 


I am taking part in the 🏊‍♂️​ Swim For Stroke Challenge to complete as many of the below distances over a few weeks:

* Length of Loch Ness- 1.3 miles - approx 84 laps in a 25m pool (completed on 25.8.23)
* Length of Ullswater - 7 miles - approx 450 laps (completed 31.8.23)
* Length of North Channel - 13 miles - approx 836 laps (completed 14.9.23)
* Length of English Channel - 20.5 miles - approx 1,320 laps


My husband Alex had a stroke in June last year and has made massive progress but there is still more to do.
