6th June 2014
Me and my friend have entered a Night swimming event at West Kirby Marine Lake on the Wirral. I arrived at West Kirby Marine Lake at 10:30pm and my friend Steve arrived a couple of minutes after me and then we talked about what swims we where going to do this year. I am doing my Open Water swims this Summer of 2014 for the Macmillan Nurses Charity and I have now raised £150.00 Pound for the Macmillan Nurses. Soon other Swimmers started to arrive for the Night Swimming event that would start at Midnight. After the Safety briefing everyone that was swimming was given a glow stick so the shore safety cover could see us in the water. The swim started a Midnight the Watersport Centre at one end of the Marine Lake, and then me and Steve swam 2 Lengths of the Marine Lake in complete Darkness. I tied a disposable Waterproof Camera to my foot and I took photographs of the swim that we where doing tonight and me and Steve had a lot of Fun swimming the two Lengths of the Marine Lake. After the swim me and steve had some coffee and a chocolate Muffin. I was already Hyperactive I might as well finish it off by eating Choclate. when I got home from the swim I had trouble getting to sleep as I was very hyperactive from this Night Swim and I eventually got to sleep about 2am in the morning.
