CAZ SWIMS LOCH NESS

By Caroline Williamson

I’m fundraising for the RNLI to help power brave lifesavers to the rescue

Iam swimming Loch Ness end to end, 23 miles. I have a weather window off three days in August 2026. I was never going to complete my Loch Ness swim for a charity but with the recent news of troubles in open water it only seems right to fundraise for VOLUNTEERS who risk their own life to save those in danger. 

The RNLI relies on donations to fund the kit and training volunteers need to save lives at sea and return safely home. I’m fundraising to help them stay ready to rescue.

My Updates

My last long swim was a beauty

Monday 3rd Aug
I’m officially on tapering duties. Still swimming just to tick over but much lower volume. Exciting times ahead.

More miles

Wednesday 29th Jul
More miles in my spot on the hill. I’ve got a good tan from this years open water swim.

Nearly time 🫪

Wednesday 29th Jul
It’s three weeks till I go to Scotland. 
Three weeks till I could potential swim the 23miles of Loch Ness. 
I feel like I’ve done so much training in open water, in the pool and strength training in the gym. Yet somehow don’t feel like I’ve done enough or done the right things to train. In three weeks we will see if that’s right, as I now begin tapering. 

I can’t not THANK EVERYONE enough for their support, patience and donations. It means the world. Thankyou x

THANKYOU

Wednesday 1st Jul
Thankyou to everyone for donating, it means a lot. Training is going well 🤞 some more big swims in the next couple off weeks. Including a back to back swim weekend next week. 

Training

Friday 5th Jun
I’ve been training with Loch Ness in mind for some time. Most recently completing a 10hour swim, practicing feeds and stamina. Next weekend I have back to back swim (10k swims on consecutive days) for four days. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
