Kate completes epic swim

Last weekend, Land Studio’s Kate Richards tackled a mammoth 5.25 mile open water swim from one end of Coniston Water to the other.

Kate was swimming to raise money for North Wales charity the True Venture Foundation which encourages children and young athletes to take up and stay in sport.

She said: “After a break of six years, it was great to be back in the water and to take part in Chillswim Coniston. It was a really well organised and fun event and I completed it in 3 hours 22 minutes.”
