Charity swim at Tri2O in memory of Katie Henderson
Last month swimmer and triathlete Katie Henderson lost her life in a road traffic accident while on her way to meet her team for Ironman 70.3 Staffordshire. She was 33.
A group of her friends have decided to organise an open water swimming event at the Tri2O swimming centre at the Reading Lake Hotel, where Katie used to train.
The 1500m #DoingItForKatie swim will take place on Wednesday 29 July, starting at 7.30pm.
The swim costs £12 to enter and all proceeds will go towards the British Triathlon Federation Trust which is being championed via the #katieslegacy campaign.

I created Outdoor Swimmer in 2011 (initially as H2Open Magazine) as an outlet for my passion for swimming outdoors. I've been a swimmer and outdoor swimmer for as long as I remember. Swimming has made a huge difference to my life and I want to share its joys and benefits with as many people as possible. I am also the author of Swim Wild & Free: A Practical Guide to Swimming Outdoors 365 a Year and I provide one-to-one support to swimmers through Swim Mentoring.
