2026 Summer Ocean Swim

I'm pushing my boundaries and attempting a 1km ocean swim to raise money for cancer

I'm supporting cancer research and the health of people in Australia 

Roughly 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. This is a statistic that we need to change. 

So, I've decided to take on a personal challenge with the support of CanToo, to raise funds along the way that could be life-changing. From supporting the ongoing health promotion work CanToo provides, to funding incredible, innovative early-career cancer researchers.

We desperately need to find more solutions to cancer, from prevention, to treatment, and ultimately a cure. Please support me on my journey with CanToo by donating to my fundraising page today!

Thank you for your support!

First ocean session

Sunday 9th Nov
Probably not smart to do parkrun before this session, we practiced entering the water and getting out beyond the breakers then back to shore 5 times. The 5th and 6th time swam 200m out, looking back at how far away the shore was gave me the heebie jeebies but I did it!!
Still couldn’t do freestyle the whole time, lots of breast stroke in between to get my breath back. 

Lots of work to do!

Week 1 pool session 1

Thursday 6th Nov
Beautiful afternoon to kick off and meet the crew, what a great bunch of humans I'm doing this with! Each has their own story and motivation.  Mel got us in the pool to see just what work she has ahead to get us prepared for the challenge. All of us at varying stages of swimming ability, I think I was the slowest swimmer but managed to do the 200m in not just under 10 mins but under 6!  It's going to be a long 12 weeks but was such a buzz to be in the water and getting started.

What have I done? ????

Friday 31st Oct
So I’ve done this thing where I’ve signed up to train for and complete a 1km ocean swim to Shark Island. Training starts next week with pool sessions on a Wednesday night followed by ocean training on Saturday mornings at Cronulla for the next 12 weeks.

I have committed to raising $1200 for cancer so looking for donations please!!

Thanks to my wonderful cousin Carmen for kicking it off and giving me my first donation ???
