A message from Carmela the MD

I don’t usually share personal information but this news must be shared. Sophia my 13 yr old daughter will soon be swimming the English Channel as part of a relay team with her school and lead by their amazing Geography teacher, a former member of the armed forces and fully qualified in open water swimming. A team of 8 children and 4 teachers have been training for this over the past yr, swimming in cold waters of as low as 13 degrees, their resiliance and determination is impressive. They have to swim the channel with no wetsuit and must swim alone for 1 hr at a time with the boat to the side of them. Repeati bc this maybe up to 3 times. The distance is 21 miles from Dover to Calais and depending on currents, traffic and tides will depend how many times they will swim.

They are doing this to raise money for an amazing charity Scottys Little Soldiers and they are aiming for a target of £5k

2 asks please
1. If you follow their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1GBwVai2mU/?mibextid=wwXIfr
you will be able to see their training progress and watch the swim unfold on the day.
2. If you would like to support the charity, Scotty's Little Soldiers, https://www.justgiving.com/page/tauntonprepschoolchanneltitanv?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL head over to their just giving page and any donation would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The team are ready and fully trained now and are just waiting for the right ‘weather’ window to open with could be anytime from the 9th August. By the time they return to school In September they will have achieved something great, which will be with them for the rest of their lives.

Thank you for reading and hope you enjoy watching the last part of their journey unfold.

Best wishes.
