Why am I doing this?

Friday 3rd Jul
To start,  I love swimming. Water is my happy place. Since December, I have been in the pool 3-5 days a week. This is after some major life changes: leaving an abusive relationship and getting a divorce, finishing my masters, working in an ICU during COVID-19, changing jobs, leaving the province where I have lived and worked for 20 years (which meant leaving friends behind), and struggling with my mental health. Swimming has helped me find parts of myself that I had forgotten about...I just feel good afterwards.
Second, I'm a nurse. My job in hospital is to help after the fact. By doing something like this I hope to help prevent people from having to come to hospital.
Third, I'm a Newfoundlander. Newfoundlanders are a high risk population, due to both genetic and lifestyle factors for heart disease and stroke. I hope that by completing this challenge, I can show others it can be done. At any age. At any size.
If you have made it to here, thank you for reading. Many small changes, over time, can lead to big change.
