Lucy R, one of our long standing Coaches and swimmers, has been training hard with her friends for a 6 person channel relay crossing in July. Lucy is raising money for CRY - Cardiac Risk in the Young, which is also our Club’s chosen charity - for our 30th anniversary the Club raised £6,000 to pay for a CRY screening session in memory of Chloe Waddell, one of our young and most talented swimmers 
Please sponsor Lucy if you can! SPONSOR LUCY HERE! Lucy’s team are also selling swimming hats and stickers to raise more funds.
Lucy's training update - We’re officially two months away from swimming the English Channel! The past few months have been tough – balancing training, cold water acclimatisation, and my dissertation – but I’ve managed to rack up over 90 km of swimming so far! Last Wednesday, we successfully completed our qualifying swim in 15.5°C water. It was tough, requiring us to swim for two hours in the cold while avoiding some gigantic swans. A massive thank you to everyone who has donated already – I’m halfway to reaching my fundraising goal! CRY does incredible work supporting bereaved families and raising awareness about early cardiac deaths. Their efforts have been vital in identifying cardiac abnormalities that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. It’s a charity very close to my heart, as I’ve seen first-hand the amazing impact their work can have. Any donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated.
