The Scilly Swim

By Jim Rogers

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

Every day, around the coasts of the UK and Ireland, RNLI volunteers are kitting up to answer desperate calls for help. But they can’t launch to the rescue without support. 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.

Reigate

Tuesday 23rd Jun
Just done swim 14. Just past Reigate. 6% complete and slightly ahead of schedule.

Today was enjoyable but yesterday was hard and Saturday was a nightmare.

Sevenoaks

Tuesday 16th Jun
10th and 11th swims out the way and I have now swum past Sevenoaks. Which is marginally quicker than public transport.

9th swim

Sunday 14th Jun
Just finished my 9th swim. Back on track. Done just over 21km in 2 weeks. Still genuinely loving it; no doubt the grind is to come.

4th and 5th swims

Monday 8th Jun
4th & 5th under my belt. Sunday was very hard but today was delightful. Still not daunted by the scale of the task but I'm sure that's to come.

2nd and 3rd Swim

Friday 5th Jun
2nd and 3rd swims under my belt. 2nd felt great, 3rd was hard work.

Swim 1

Monday 1st Jun
Did first swim to the Isles of Scilly. 100 lengths. 2.5km. Not swum that far in training.

Took well over an hour.

Just 207 swims left

Training

Thursday 14th May
