Sydney Ocean Swim 1km Sydney 2016

I feel like I am finally getting the hang of it!

After 9 weeks of swim training I finally feel like it is all coming together. The waves still make me feel nervous but they don't stop me from getting in anymore, or make me feel like crying like they did in the first couple of weeks. I am really grateful for everyone's donations and encouraging words. Now there is only 3 weeks until race day and I am really looking forward to it.

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
