Hi, my name is Yannik and I am a Trustee at Bedfordshire Open Door Charity who provide free counselling for young people. To mark our 30 year anniversary we are fundraising to be able to support more young people.

I have decided to challenge myself to swim 30 lengths 30 times. I chose this because, while I used to swim a lot when I was younger it is something I've not made time for in recent years. I know it's great for physical and mental well being so I want to make it part of my regular routine again. I will be counting swimming on holiday!

So far I have completed 18 swims:

1. 19/05/25 32 x 20m lengths

2. 02/06/25 34 x 20m lengths

3. 09/06/25 34 x20m lengths

4. 16/06/25 36 x20m lengths

5. 23/06/25 40 x 20m lengths

6. 30/06/25 33 x 20m lengths

7. 07/07/25 42 x 20m lenghts

8. 14/07/25 38 x 20 lengths

9. 22/07/25 40 x 20 m lengths

10. 11/08/25 42 x 20m lengths

11. 19/08/25 82 x 12m lengths

12. 22/08/25 80 x 12m lengths

13. 08/09/25 40 x 20m lengths

14. 15/09/25 50 x 20m lengths
