On Saturday 9th November 2019 TeamDaniel Trustee Vicki took part in TeamDaniel’s first ever swimming fundraising event at the Aquatics Centre in Stratford, East London., also known as the Olympic Pool. Participants can choose to swim either 1k, 2k, 5k or 10k.

As Vicki says, “I chose the 10k option, 6 miles, 200 lengths of the pool, at the time I signed up - I thought ‘why not it’s not that far, I have run 10k before ….’

“My training was a little bit hit and miss; however, I did some warm weather training a week before the event in the Canary Islands, the hotel swimming pool. I set myself a target of completing 6 miles in under 4hrs 30mins …Very happy to report that I was done and dusted in 4hrs 13 mins. I actually really enjoyed it and have signed up again for 2020. I raised just over £100.A massive thanks to everyone who supported me!”
