Just an update...

Thank you legends for supporting me on this journey.

I have been hacking away slowly and life has happened so here's a little update:

Week 1 - was a bit of a struggle, it was the first time I've even attempted to do a 25m lap in 30 years and it showed... 
I couldn't quite make the distance and just general unfamiliriaty with having my head under water triggered every survival instinct.. 
~300m done with lots of start/stops in a 25m lap.

Week 2 - was a little better, focused on my breathing and exhaling under water and this led to more consistency, but still overall the lack of familiarity with water again being my achilles heel... 
~400m this time round in a 30min block

Week 3 - better again, focused on breathing and two stoke breaths, I am now able to consistently do 25m laps with 40s breaks between laps... the consistency is helping with familiarity with water...
500m this time round in a 30min block

Life has also happened in the mean time, so we are going to push the swim to the 30th Nov, as we will be a bit busy with life on the 23rd Nov which was the original plan. 

Help me celebrate with a gift to Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation!

In Loving Memory of our Angel Lilli Evy Dang.

This year I have been inspired by my big little girl Zoey.  Her progression in swimming has been nothing short of astounding and I couldn't be more proud of her.

So this year I am going to give swimming a shot, its not alot but I am aiming for 2km. However for those that know me, I'm more sink than swim, but I won't ever die wondering.
