Introduction	I am a Kiwi living in the UK. I have completed a number of iconic open water swims latterly Europe to Asia and Lake Windermere 3 times, including a double (2 way) swim of the lake. I am have booked several more exciting challenges! My double (2 way) 13 hour 34 minutes Windermere Swim was followed by a 9 hour 18 minute crossing of the English Channel from Jersey to France, followed by a 14 hour swim across from Dover to the French Coast in August 2013. In 2014 I took part in a 16 hour swim with the On Porpoise Diabetes UK relay across the Channel. I am the first New Zealander to complete a two way Windermere and the first to complete the Jersey to France Channel crossing. I am also the oldest person to complete both those swims. In August 2014 I became the first person in history to swim to France from 2 different Channel Islands when I swam from Alderney to France in 6 hours 27 minutes. My 2015 swims included the 44 mile around Jersey swim in August.
