My Story

Swimming is not a strength of mine! It's definitely my weakest discipline when it comes to triathlon and I struggle with confidence... But! I've come a long way since I basically taught myself front crawl and now I want to take on my biggest challenge yet - Swimming the 2 mile event at the Serpentine in Hyde Park! The Mintridge Foundation provides opportunities for young people to get involved with sport, helping them to have a positive relationship with physical activity as they grow up. This is something I didn't have as a kid as I absolutely refused to take part in any sport whatsoever! 😂 I wouldn't be without it now and I so wish I'd got involved when I was younger so to give back to a charity that works in sport inspiration means a lot!
