My grandad has alzheimers and I can always see a difference with him when he is outdoors in the fresh air.
I chose to do cold water swimming because I like the thrill of the open water and weather and also because they have proved that cold water could help fight off dementia.
I have done two swims so far in Derwent water in the Lake District in October and in the canoeing lake at the Hub in November. I might even do my December swim on Christmas day!
I will keep swimming until the Spring!
