Helen Hislop - 3 Lakes Challenge (England)

"It’s Sunday, 10th September. I’m standing at the edge of Coniston clad in a swimsuit, hat, and goggles. The sun

is still too low to penetrate the thick layer of fog covering the water. I’m about to embark on my solo skins

swimming challenge, suggested by Uswim’s Dave Quartermain: completing Coniston, Ullswater and

Windermere consecutively with only transition time and travel between each lake. 

As far as we knew, no one had attempted this challenge in skins or had it ratified. In 2021 Uswim guided me

successfully across the English Channel. This would require a similar kind of preparation, with a combined

distance of 23 miles."
