I can’t quite find the words… exhausted, exhilarated, overwhelmed — and honestly, it still hasn’t sunk in.
We are officially successful English Channel relay swimmers! 🌊🏊♀️
The Channel threw absolutely everything at us, but we got there. Huge thanks to the incredible crew of Viking Princess II, whose skill, experience and calm heads guided us through some seriously choppy waters and got us safely to France.
It’s going to take a few days for this achievement to truly sink in, but right now I’m just so proud of my amazing teammates and everything we achieved together. What an adventure.
There are so many people to thank who helped make this possible. From Bluetit sisters and brothers, my swim coaches through to my friends and family who so selflessly supported my training, listened to endless swim talk, and cheered me on every step (and stroke!) of the way — thank you.
It’s been a huge privilege, an epic journey, and an experience I’ll never forget.
Now... what’s the next adventure? 💙🌊
….and as always it will involve the Bluetit Flock
PS. We were joined by 3 seals 🦭 and a dolphin 🐬 on the journey……plus more than a few jellyfish 🪼
PPS. Thank you to our sisters from Milton Keynes (Bluet**s 3 Channel Swim Relay Team 2026) who sent personal messages of support and despite their own recent disappointment, spurred us on and continue to inspire us ❤️💙💛 Your turn will come and we will be rooting for you with every stroke ❤️💛💙💪💪🏊♀️🏊♀️
