On Thursday and Friday the 6th and 7th of Feb 2025 I will be taking part in the Midmar Charity 8 Mile Challenge, where I will be swimming 8 miles over the two days. I have been swimming the Midmar Mile since 2011, heading down for the event has always been a special weekend for me and I am honored to be swimming it as one of the 8 milers who I always thought were out of their minds!

My sister has swam this event 5 times in the past few years, it is now my turn to take on this challenge. I am keen to fill her shoes and swim for a good cause!

'The Chad le Clos Foundation aims to create safe environments for all South Africans to enjoy our magnificent waterways, with the swimming survival skills and water safety education necessary to help develop safe behaviours and attitudes around water. It is a well-known fact that South Africa has exceptionally high drowning statistics. Together, we can reduce that number and keep our children and communities safe.'
