Welcome to My Personal Page
I am fundraising in support of Brigadoon Village! Help me send kids to camp!
I have been eyeing this event since it started over a decade ago when I was living in Ottawa. I had very small children at the time and wasn't swimming very often.
About two years ago I was able to get back into a regular swimming routine with an informal group a the Halifax YMCA and the Halifax Chronos Masters swim team. I've reconnected with old friends and made new ones.
I'm excited (and nervous) about the swim across the Northumberland Strait, but inspired by the Give to Live campaign to raise money for Brigadoon. I was a butterflyer and distance freestyler as an age group and university swimmer, but I have only done a handful of open-water races over the years.
My husband Kharim will be my kayaker and, as a triathlete training for his own big events this year, one of my many training buddies. I'm thrilled that a bunch of people have already offered to do lake swims with me, especially because I'm not a huge fan of cold water. I'll likely need a few friendly nudges to make the transition outdoors this spring. :)
Thanks so much for visiting my BIG SWIM page!
