TARGET REACHED!
WE have now raised £8820 for the South West MS Centre!
The training has been done, in my taper now and focusing on recovery from the heavy training load with the wizard Mark Blackstone from Blackstone Sports Therapy and Sports Massage Exeter and East Devon..
My English Channel swim window opens September 10th. I’m really excited to swim to France with Fred and Harry Mardle from Masterpiece Charters
Thank you to everyone who has donated, supported me and given me encouragement, especially when doubts have creeped in.
It has been a hard 3 years of training, especially with my MS rearing its ugly head at times making me exhausted. But, as a TEAM we have prepared thoroughly and are ready to tackle the English Channel! Thank you to everyone who has been supported me.

Channel training update A good bout of training recently: 100x100m off 1min 25sec going time for my last pool swim, late last month. Steady 3 laps at Budleigh no wetsuit in 12c water and tough currents, in 1hr 9mins. Much more in the tank, probably double the duration. Another 20mins @8c with the amazing @theicebath.co Ice bath .

Any sponsorship/ sharing to help raise money for a specialist piece of equipment for those with Multiple Sclerosis would be much appreciated! 🙏🏻 Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
At last I’ve joined the @theicebath.co family! I’ve wanted one of their ice baths so several reasons: 1. To help reduce inflammation with my multiple Sclerosis 2. To help prepare for my English Channel Swim this September with Fred, Harry & Pearl @masterpiececharters where I’ll be raising money for the @southwestmstherapycentre 3. To help prepare for my @gbiceswimming ‘Ice kilometre’ next year if conditions allow.

**Channel swim 2024 update** Final big pool swim before sea swimming ramps up. 100x100m off 1minute 25secs going time. HR average 143bpm, happy with this. My Multiple Sclerosis has been playing up more this year resulting in large levels of fatigue, but today has meant things are still on track for a solid channel swim in September. Thanks to Mark Blackstone for the sports massage and Jo John and Jamie page for the swim coaching. Thanks also to @exe_masters_swimming members @matthewmew Katie, Lyndsey & Jamie for joining me and @nigeltg44 for timekeeping. Finally thanks to my ever supportive fiancée Ania @multicolourmakeupfreak for supporting me. I’m swimming the channel to raise money for the @southwestmstherapycentre to but a specialist piece if exercise equipment (Nu-step) for the centres users. Any donations or sharing of the channel swim would be much appreciated! £5700 out of £8800 has now been raised 🙏🏻
***Back to the Sea - Open Water Swimming Seminar*** It was a pleasure to brush off the cobwebs and present my open water swimming seminar yesterday at the Hotel Du Vin! All proceeds will go towards my channel swim fundraising campaign for the South West MS Centre .The exact amount raised from the seminar will be confirmed shortly but will be approximately £300! All 50 tickets were sold out early, and with additional demand by the sound of it. I plan to present this seminar again later in the year. Thank you to everyone who came, including several clients, and for the amazing feedback. Some key points to work on and learn from. You were a great audience. Thanks to my Fianceé Ania Kobier for helping me, to my parents for coming along to support me, and my auntie Teresa Sienkiewicz for coming to help. @southwestmstherapycentre @hotelduvin #channelswim #charity #publicspeaking #openwaterswimming #swimming #ms #mscharity #nl_wellness #seminar #nutrition #educate
**The Big One** 11mins @0.0c in the cold dip last night. This was tough. I safely managed 10mins @ 0.0c last winter so I knew I’d be safe with a little longer, and I wanted longer this year if the situation arose. The last day of this Arctic weather system was the right timing. My eye is set on the channel but I also want an ice km next year (1km swim in 5c or less). Sometimes you have to dig deep and last night was one of those times!

Another 1c cold dip
3mins 1c cold dip yesterday. I messed up the video 🤣 I don’t think I’ll be getting any film awards! Got it done though. At least you can hear the ice! Good cold water prep for my channel swim in September #channel #channelswimtraining #ice #icedip #coldwater #ms #mstherapy #swimming #iceswimming #practicewhatyoupreach #nl_wellness @southwestmstherapycentre
2.5mins in the cold dip this morning, -5c air 1-1.5c water 06:20am . I didn’t want to do it today, but session such as these are the most important sessions to get done. Thanks to my fiancée Ania @multicolourmakeupfreak for getting up, recording me, and for making me accountable. All part of my English channel swim this September for the @southwestmstherapycentre which does a fantastic job helping those with Multiple Sclerosis and other neuro-degerative diseases. #ms #multiplesclerosis #channel #channelswimmingassociation #channelswimtraining #channelswimming #openwater #openwaterswimming #sea #seaswimming #coldwater #iceswimming #ice #fit #nl_wellness @theicebath.co
10mins @ 0.0c in the cold dip just now, -3c air temp. Shaking my arms and legs occasionally throughout to dispel the ‘warmer film’ of water. The head gets submerged at the end too. Part of #channelswimming #channelswimmer #icemile training. Cheers @coninghamrolls @rossedgley @coldplungecam @paullmatten for the motivation. #theicebathco @theicebath.co I can’t wait to upgrade to one of your amazing cold dips soon.
