This is my first year swimming outdoors, and I love it!  Since training in Gibraltar I have swum in nearly every lake in the south and can’t wait to battle the Channel!

This is my first year in open water swimming.  I am definately looking forward to the challenge of this new activity, although I’m not sure about the jellyfish!

I love Triathalon so I’m used to the cold water, although I have to admit I am missing my tri-suit a bit!  I am looking forward to starting the team off in from sunny England!
