A group of six women have come together to fight back against gender stereotypes about women in sports as they take on an open water swim.
Their name, ‘She Swims Like A Girl’, was chosen by Medical student Lucy Hirst.
The group have been selling swim hats with their logo, stickers and hosting quiz nights to raise money for their respective charities such as Cardiac Risk in the Young, Galloway Society for the Blind and Papyrus UK.
The channel is approximately 21 miles (32 kilometres) and according to the Channel Swimming Association the fastest swim is just over 7 hours and the slowest nearly 27 hours.
They will be continuing to accept donations here alongside their next charity bbq event 7 June at the Dam House.
