Swim #2



I was attempting to do 2.4km to round out my numbers, but I started taking on a bit of water. My watch also added an extra 25m, which annoyed me and I couldnt stop thinking about how annoying my watch adding laps I didnt do, was. In other exciting news, I saw Sunday Aryang at the pool doing some rehab on her knee!

First swim complete



I was aiming for 2km, but I got a headache from my cap, and when I took that off, I started getting leakage into my goggles. Very annoying! I can't wait for my new Laps for Life cap to arrive - hopefully it is a bit softer than the one I'm using currently.

We’re swimming to save lives



Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.

More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need.

ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.

We're taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to our fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.

Go Amanda! Great cause too.... such a heartbreaking statistic, that suicide remains the leading cause of death in Oz. Wishing you and all the fundraisers, success with this.
