For her 50th birthday last year, Sally decided to swim a mile each day in 50 different pools in London for 50 days. A great celebration!

Sally’s love of endurance swimming all started with a somewhat random adventure swimming holiday in Greece…

Since then, she has swum the 21 miles of the English Channel, an incredible endurance feat as well as countless open water endurance races and even some arctic swimming! No wetsuits allowed!

She talks openly about the trials and tribulations of endurance swimming including overcoming her first failed attempt at crossing the Channel before completing the challenge the following year.

Sally is engaging and funny and genuinely loves the water. Listening to her and reading her blog posts on the Guardian website make you want to jump in!
