My daughter has done it so proud

[Clairelacey9110]

Hello everyone.
I tried to find the previous thread on how proud I was of my daughter. But I cant seem to locate it.
Here is a little bit about her she is 9 years old loves to swim, saw that she could raise money to help people that needed help to raise money. She looked into this herself before asking of she could take part so she knew what she was doing and why.
Before lockdown happened she was training her hard to take part in a swimathon she swam and trained so hard well the weekend of the event we all went to lock down she was absolutely devastated. It was postponed until Autumn. She was worried she had worked so hard to raise money cake sales at school, jobs around, once the pools opened back up she wanted to get straight back in the water. I reminded my daughter its ok ill take time 6months no swimming is a big break.
Well yesterday PM she completed her swim she swam 2.5k (100lenghs) in 81mins.
She was so proud! I was so proud! she said it would be something she will never forget. Everyone we have spoken to have said that she is amazing and a star
We knew she would do it but I want to tell as many people as I can im so proud.
Plus she slept very well last night

Ps this is not a asking page this is just so I can shout from the top of the hill....

This actually made me a little teary! What a superstar you have raised OP. You should both be extremely proud!

There you go - there’s always someone with an unnecessary comment and today’s winner is Floatyboat. It almost beggars belief that someone can think it acceptable to make a dig at what is a wonderful achievement by a little girl.
A huge well done to your daughter - I don’t mind admitting that I’m all but done in after 10 lengths, never mind 80. Both you and her deserve to be very proud

That's fantastic! You're right. She really smashed i. Whether it is for her aim on how much she wanted to raise or for her swimming.
WELL DONE!

Congratulations to you and your daughter! What a great achievement, raising so much money!

Jesus wept, she's 9, could you be more of a twat?

What's your time for 2.5 raising money for charity?

@Clairelacey9110. She's a ⭐️ I'm VERY impressed with her doing 100 lengths, but even more so with her doing this, for others, off her own back! She's lovely .

Well done, your daughter is amazing.

@Floatyboat I hope your boat of bitterness sinks in shark infested waters.

What a wonderful caring little girl. She will go far.

You are quite right to be proud, I’ll bet it’s the first of many proud moments for you OP. Keep up the good work.

That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing this story of joy! She sounds like she is a thoughtful and very dedicated person.

That's brilliant! Well done to your daughter!

Brilliant! Well done to her! 😊

Amazing! A huge congratulations and well done to your girl. You are right to be bursting with pride.

There's always one, isn't there?

Well done to your dd OP.

Awesome achievement!
And she's clearly thoughtful and caring. You should be proud. Tell her well done!

saw that she could raise money to help people that needed help to raise money.

Could you explain this a bit more? I know you emphasised that this isn't a thread asking for donations, but I wondered what she was raising money for.

What a star!!! Well done to your DD, you must be so proud!!

@Floatyboat I hope your boat of bitterness sinks in shark infested waters.

Wins t'internet today.

Puzzled me too. Along with the name change.

@MsStillwell it was to raise money for cancer research and marie curie she looked into it and saw it can help saves lives by putting money into find new medicines and ways of beating it. Her goal was to be able to help cover the cost of a nurse for each charity for a day.

Thankyou all for your amazing comments. Thankyou all for reading and replying its made my week I couldnt ask for anymore
Thankyou

@alljustamoopoint sorry I didnt make it to clear as I didn't want this thread to come across as a charity/fundraising page..

Well done to her!

Incredible! Tell your DD again and again how incredible she is. She will remember this all her life.

I'm so impressed

Amazing!!! You’re right to be proud, what a thoughtful, determined little girl.

What a star! very impressed and with the care she took to decide on her charity.

Well done OP's dd. Brilliant.
@Floatyboat hope you get a leak!

Amazing!! I did something similar at her age (I think it was 100 laps of my pool, and if definitely took way longer than 81mins 😂, I was built for endurance not speed!!) and I still remember the feeling of climbing out, I couldn’t feel my arms, I couldn’t see straight but I was so happy!!
She will remember this for a long time and she should be super proud of herself
