I have not been able to get in the pool yet this month due to travel and an intensive course.

I have finally bought some new bathers that actually fit me so I can actually get in the pool when I get the chance!

This Saturday the 7th March I will be joining my Venturers at Belgrave Pool to swim for Elizabeth. Saturday would have been her 17th birthday. I am aiming to swim 17 laps for her.

Elizabeth brought so much humour and fun to our unit, and I am honoured to be able to share one of her passions, swimming, on this special day.

It has been a very long time since I have been in a pool, and even longer since swimming laps. I am not sure if I will make it to 17, but taking it slow and steady I will do my best.
