Sarah swims Windermere

In August I am swimming the length of Windemere, which is around 11 miles, to raise funds for Mental Health Swims (MHS). I will be supported by my excellent friend Ian, who will be paddling the 11 miles beside me in his kayak and hopefully throwing me plenty of snacks.

One of MHS’ aims is for mental health issues to be talked about more openly and to build empathy and understanding around mental health within communities so that people never feel alienated or alone. By creating welcoming spaces that are structured around a peer support model, people are able to show up as they are, share as little or as much as they like about their experiences all whilst enjoying a shared love of the water.
