Debbie Tyler –
Good morning, I just wanted to thank you for a fabulous swim yesterday at Ullswater. After being really nervous at the start, your team (especially you Pete) made me feel very relaxed and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
This is my first time in the Lakes, we’ve travelled up from the Midlands, and I’ll definitely be coming back to you guys for another swim adventure.
Thanks again, I’ll be spreading the word to all my swimmy friends! Regards, Debbie 😁

Hi there
Safely back in Scottish Borders and recovering from a fab day .
It’s the hardest morning of swimming I’ve done and though I probably didn’t look like it, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you to all the swim the lakes team, for looking after us. For encouraging me and although I was so, so slow, was never made to feel it.
I plan to come back next time you do that swim to see if I can manage it without swallowing 5 gallons of Ullswater 😂😂😂.
Many thanks once again
Jane (one of the skins swimmers)
