Weymouth Bay Swim
MARK Le Gassick and Lucy Simmons are going to be taking to the water this summer for the British Heart Foundation’s annual Weymouth Bay swim.
The couple will be swapping their running shoes and vests for wetsuits and goggles as they take part in the one-mile swim, which starts at Weymouth Pavillion and finishes on the opposite side of the bay just off Preston beach.
Lucy has been unable to run for the last 12 months due to an Achilles tendon injury. However, despite the long lay-off, she’s been working hard to maintain her fitness with regular gym sessions, cycling, and swimming.
“Being unable to run for such a long time has been really frustrating”, said Lucy. “I decided that I needed something to focus on, and as I’ve been swimming regularly for the past year, the Weymouth bay swim seemed like the ideal challenge.”
The swim will take place on Sunday 9th August, and we're currently seeking sponsorship for the BHF. If you would like to sponsor us you can do so at our JustGiving page below:
