Following a Uswim adventure training plan, Nicola had set her targets on a Windermere Solo . The start point was Ambleside and the  end point Fell Foot to ensure the wind would be in her favour. Concerned about the water temperature and wanting to enjoy the swim as much as possible Nicola opted for a wetsuit and gloves.

Feeding hourly on various snacks including marmite sandwiches, Nicola completed her swim in a fabulous time of 6 hours and 25 minutes.
