Last year a friend challenged me to swim the length of the English Channel - in just under three months. I thought this was a big ask considering my weight, but we all know how swimming regularly can improve both heart and lungs and not to mention tones the body. With that in mind and with the comfort of the three months I managed to discipline myself as I aimed to meet specific targets I set myself.
It was not an easy task but with the support of friends and family (who often swam with me) i did it, and was able to raise some money for charity too, just google Aspire Channel Swim to find out more info.
and i hope more people will gain the health benefits that i have got since i started this swimming challenge last year
