Get me to 19341ft on 3rd September 2012

Let me introduce myself my name is Georgie Hardy and I live in Watford, currently studying Graphic Communication at Loughborough University. For those that don't already know me I teach for Swim-With-Me on Saturday afternoons at Marlborough School and have covered numerous sessions at Astley Cooper in Hertfordshire.

On 3^rd September 2012 I’ll be undertaking a trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro, known as the rooftop of Africa, standing at 19,341 feet in height. Setting myself the challenge to tackle the landscape and the altitude and reach the summit. I am aiming to raise a minimum of £2500 for my chosen charity Practical Action before my Trek.

I’ve chosen to support Practical Action because this charity believes that the right idea – however small – can change lives. It can create jobs, improve health and livelihoods. Since 1966, they have been working with third world countries to develop the skills and technology that will enable them to build a better future. More information on what the charity does can be found at http://practicalaction.org/

For example by raising just £40 this can build a clean water tap - Clean water taps are lifelines to the poorest communities where water is scarce. Placing a tap stand high above the water level can help save lives by providing a vital source of clean, safe drinking water all year round.

As well as the main event, I’ll be raising money through various fundraising activities in the lead-up to the big day. Including a Sponsored Cycle ride from London to Brighton and a Quiz Night along with a Charity Auction.

Now this is where you could help me reach my target and support Practical Action by making a donation through my fundraising page at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/GeorgieHardy Make sure you put your name or your company name on the donation message so all other donors can see you’re supporting me. You can also donate by cheque made payable to Practical Action and forward it onto me.

In Addition, you are all welcome to attend my Quiz night or Auction (I will keep you posted with the date and location)

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support and taking the time to read my blog

Kind regards

Georgie Hardy

teaching children & adults how to swim

Thank you for your interest in the Swim With Me swimming programme.

Swim With Me is a family business run by husband & wife team Tracie and Jean-Michel and was established from the passion of teaching children how to swim and to meet the growing need for high quality swimming lessons in the UK. Working closely with the British Governing Body for swimming, The Amateur Swimming Association, and through an ongoing training programme for our swimming instructors we can provide the most up to date teaching skills available for our swim classes. As an accredited training centre of the Institute of Swimming Teachers we also run courses for qualifying swim teachers, assistants, lifeguard training and lifeguard certification. With the growing success of Swim With Me we are now operating in Colchester Essex, Snaresbrook London, St Albans Hertfordshire, Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire and Bagshot Surrey and are now looking to further promote our swim school and swim club.

Swim With Me is not only working towards helping as many people as possible to learn to swim, from baby swimming, toddler swim lessons, children swimming lessons, and adult swimming, but we also encourage the need for a healthy active lifestyle in today’s society through our swim classes. We believe that learning to swim is a skill that will last a lifetime and that no person should go without. Our classes are taught in a friendly environment and our approach to teaching is based on creativity and fun. Our goal is to create a lasting, positive impression on both our students and their parents that will last long after our classes have finished. A safe and friendly environment is very important for people to learn to swim which is one of our main priorities. We give encouragement to all students to reach their maximum potential, whilst reinforcing safe practices and awareness of their swimming pool environment.
