Sydney Ocean Swim 1km Sydney 2016

Training progress....

Ok, so Christmas has come and gone and it's time for me to get serious. Seriously. I am doing some secret training because I'm a bit behind most of the others. However, I am proud to say that since I started with CanToo, I am now able to breathe on both sides when swimming - hurrah!!! I can also now move through the water when I'm not using my arms cos I've learned how to kick. Useful. I've done a couple of days in the ocean and can use a rip to go out and waves to come in. The bit in the middle is a bit tough though and I swallow a lot of water (not from talking you'll be surprised to know) so I'm working on that. It's the waves that make it tricky!!! Am tracking my progress with photos which I will shortly upload when I learn how to. Thanks for all your support and encouragement. I'm loving this experience and all the people I've met along the way.

I'm training with Can Too for the 1km Ocean Swim!

I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals.
 
Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.
 
In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2014, our Can Too community has supported 19 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.

Thank you for supporting me!
 
‘It’s so much fun and I can’t believe I’m going to achieve this goal that I never thought possible. A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’

Thank you to my Sponsors

What a thing to do! I am doing Sydney Coasttrek on March 4 to raise money for Fred Hollow Foundation. I'm a bit daunted by a 55km / 13 hr + walk, but you are inspiring me!
