Hi all, just another quick update as we are approaching the last week of the challenge.   So far I have swam 16.5km of my pledged 20km and have surpassed my fundraising goal of $400!     My overall experience participating in Laps for Life has been really, really positive. I am enjoying the swimming more than I thought I would and will definitely continue to pursue it after the challenge, but what I have been enjoying the most however is talking to my coworkers and customers (I just so happen to work at a pool lol) about Laps for Life and Reach Out. At work I am quite reserved, but participating in the challenge and having people see me participate in the challenge has allowed me to build better connections with people and share the work Reach Out does and why I wanted to get involved.    Heres to the final week and reaching my 20km's!  ...

Just a quick update on my progress before I go for my 4th swim. After tonight I should be a quarter of the way to my distance goal, which I'm very happy about. It feels good to be back in the pool, even if I am much slower than I used to be.    Very humbled by how well received my page was when I shared it on my facebook. More likes and positive comments than I could have imagined. The number of people who have donated already also blew my mind. It just goes to show more people care than what you may think      Excited for the rest of the month to see if I can push to swim further than I initially challenged myself too. ... View more

I'm so glad I stumbled across this thread! I was a competitive swimmer growing up and now (many years later) find it hard to get in the pool and do something that I once loved.   I've signed myself up and set a challenging but attainable goal of 20kms and am excited to see how this goes and actually get back in the pool.  ...
