The Midmar mile takes place on 9 February 2019 and is the world’s largest open water swimming event. There are 8 events over the weekend and I am part of the 8-Mile Charity initiative, which aim to swim all 8 events, i.e. 8 miles or 12.8kms. Bearing in mind that this is my first Midmar Mile. I will be swimming to raise funds for the Wildlands Conservation Trust. http://wildtrust.co.za/
