Day 7 - 5km swim for OneGirl completed!
Day 7 - I completed my swimathon for OneGirl this morning. And it was fantastic to be greeted by Christine McKenna, Neil Smith and Trish Smith when I reached the shoreline. Many thanks to all my sponsors. It was money well spent guys. I well and truly beat my donation target of $1000. Cheers, Dave. Share
Day 6 - 4.2km so far
Day 6 had perfect conditions for a swimathon except for the brewing storm clouds. Donations are still trickling in and I have only 800m to go! Thanks goes to my many generous sponsors. Share
Day 5 - 3.5km so far
Perfect conditions for open water swimming this morning. It was like a lake. Not sure about tomorrow’s forecast though. 🌧 Share
Day 4 - another 700m
It’s day 4 of my swimathon for OneGirl and I’ve doubled my initial donation target of $1000! Thanks to all my generous supporters. I’ve swam 2800m so far and I’ve got another 2200m to reach my goal of 5km. So far so good. Share
Day 3 - 700m
Day 3 went well this morning with another 700m added towards my goal of 5000m. Caught up with some good mates afterwards for a coffee at the beach kiosk. Only 2900m to go! Share
Day 2 - another 700m
Day 2 and I’ve clocked up a total of 1.4km. Only 3.6km to go! Conditions were pretty good at 10am although the water temp is a little cold. No jellies which was good. And the donations are doing very nicely. Thanks to all my sponsors. Share
700m today - 4300m to go
Day One
Happy IWD2021. It’s day one of my quest to swim 5km for OneGirl. All money goes to help education programs for young girls in two African countries Sierra Leone and Uganda. I’m off to Williamstown Beach in a couple of hours to kick off the swimathon. Pics and updates to follow. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
