After completing 2.5km at my Swimathon event I now want to see how long it will take me to be able to swim 5km in one session (which I hope to do at Swimathon 2011!)...
This ticker will let you know the distance I am currently at (updated as needed)

Swim the Red Sea --- 18 month Challenge
March 2010- August 2011
-----------------------------------------------
I hope over the course of 18 months to have swam the distance of the widest part of the Red Sea. A total of 350km! I plan to complete this by just before my youngest daughter starts half-day nursery as I will then have more time to myself and can set a new more ambious challenge to make the most of my then thiner and fitter self :-)
I will update this at the end of each month
