I am swimming for a CURE

This March, I am making a splash for cancer research by taking part in Cure Cancer’s Swim for a CURE. It’s a swimming fundraiser where every stroke helps support important cancer research.

I have set myself a challenge to swim 30 kilometres (18.8 miles) throughout March, and I’m really excited to see how far I can go. Just $75 can fund one hour of life-saving cancer research.

Please help me by donating through my page. It only takes a minute, and any amount you can give, big or small, will really help me reach my goal.

By doing Swim for a CURE, I hope to help fund more cancer research projects.

Thank you so much for supporting me and helping me make a splash for cancer research.

Day 4 – Afternoon Squad Swim

Wednesday 4th Mar
I forgot to take a photo of my Day 3 Tuesday afternoon swim, but I did 1 km in that session.

For the Day 4 Wednesday afternoon squad, I must admit I rocked up a little late. Because of that, I only managed a 100 m warm-up instead of the full one. 

After that, this is what I swam:

Set One – Pull (x2)
2 × 50 m freestyle pull with paddles
2 × 25 m breaststroke pull
1 × 50 m backstroke pull with paddles

Set Two – Fins
4 × 25 m freestyle with paddle on head
2 × 50 m slow finger trail

100 m DPS (distance per stroke)
100 m freestyle
100 m breaststroke
100 m backstroke
100 m butterfly

Warm down
200 m easy swim

Even though I was a little late, I still managed to get a solid 1.4km swim in and keep adding to my kilometres for the challenge. Every swim gets me a bit closer to my 30 km goal for March.

Its my school Swimming Gala tomorrow.  Wish me luck

Day 2 – Monday PM Squad

Monday 2nd Mar
Back in the pool again tonight after school for squad.

We started with 8 × 50 for warm up on 10 seconds rest.

Then we did 3 rounds of:
4 × 25 streamline kick
200 free kick with fins (fast between the flags)

After that it was 2 × 300 with fins, starting each one with 10 metres underwater into fast freestyle and building the rest.

We finished with dive drills.

Total for tonight: 1,900 metres.
Total for the day: 3.1 KM

Two swims in one day and I’m definitely feeling it now.
Until tomorrow.💙🏊‍♀️

Now I’m off to school, and then back to the pool for squad again tonight 💙🏊‍♀️


Day 1 – Let the Challenge Begin

Sunday 1st Mar
Today I swam 1 kilometre to kick things off. It felt really good to get started, and I’m excited to keep going.
