Bridge to Bridge 2015

I’d been building up to the swimming marathon Bridge to Bridge ever since I barely completed Swimathon back in April.

With a shortage of open water swims in London I signed up for the London version of the Great Swim series.

I needed some open water swimming practice so I headed to the West Reservoir in Stoke Newington for an early morning 3 km swim.

After almost drowning in Windermere two years ago I felt like I had unfinished business at the Great North Swim.

I’m swimming Bridge to Bridge a 14 km swim along the Thames from Henley-on-Thames to Marlow.

I swam a mile as part of the Great North Swim 2013 at Lake Windermere.
