Zara and Emma’s 3 Million cm Swim – follow us on social media

Why – As many know, Zara and unfortunately, many others in similar situations have experienced having to learn to walk again hence the long distance walking challenges in the past. However, not many people think about all of the other skills that are lost after a brain injury including how to float let alone swim in water. It didn’t cross Zara or Ian’s mind especially being qualified lifeguards and Scuba Diving instructors that this would be a problem, but a trip to the local pool in late 2017 soon proved … interesting!

With the help of Emma, one of Zara’s swimming instructors, Zara managed to re-learn to snorkel in time for a holiday back in November 2019. Swimming takes an awful lot of coordination especially when tackling turbulent water, different sounds and basically a completely different environment.
