Lee started swimming four mornings a week
My unexpected swimming journey started out in January 2018. As an ex Gulf war soldier on the wrong side of 40, I had become overweight, unfit and started suffering with a host of medical issues.
I was determined to up my game and so I started swimming four mornings a week. This continued into the new year and the spring, which was when I started to hear my swim buddies talk about Henley. I asked my friend about it and he said I should enter as it is one of the best events of the year. At this point, my distance PB was 1000 metres.
