Hi, my name's Indra, I'm a self-empowered run solo student school.
00:05
I'm here today as it's Boxing Day, raising money for Harbour Cancer Support Centre.
00:10
I'd like to say a big, big thank you to everybody who's turned up today
00:14
and the lots of money that you've been raising.
00:16
We've even passed the fives, we've been money in the bucket.
00:19
Harbour Cancer is a very important charity in Gosport.
00:22
They've got a little office in Stoke Road and in there they help not only those who are suffering from cancer
00:28
but also their families. There's helping support down there, little groups, missing groups, reading groups.
00:35
Basically, it's open as long as you need it. Just go down there and have a word with them and they are really, really helpful.
00:43
And is it a different charity each year?
00:45
It was to begin with but we decided to stay with Harbour Cancer because we think they're a well-deserved charity.
00:53
What's the reaction been like today?
00:56
Oh, it's been amazing. It's just such good fun.
00:59
Lots of people have volunteered to help, you know, with the spotting, in the water, supporting us.
01:05
Yeah, it's been absolutely amazing. We can't thank you enough.
01:08
And tell me what the benefits are from sea swimming.
01:12
Oh, well.
01:14
Look at the smile on my face.
01:16
I've yet to go in but I'll be smiling in a minute.
01:19
Brilliant. Thanks, Lady.
01:20
It's being in the open air, next to nature and it's just, it's wonderful to feel mental health and social.
01:26
It's very social despite what people may think.
01:29
If people are thinking of taking it up then get them to contact us on Sovereign Swimming School or Sovereign Swim Centre
01:37
and we'll be able to support you into the water.
