Watch as Davina attempts to conquer her life-long fear of open water swimming as she trains for the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Davina - Beyond Breaking Point. Accompanied by Comic Relief challenges trainer Professor Greg Whyte OBE, Davina pushes through the pain barrier and plunges into the life-threateningly cold lake for her first ever session swimming in open water.
"I wish I could tell you that there was a part of it that I enjoyed and there was a part of it where I got tuned into some Zen like state but I'm not there yet," said Davina after the session. "All I wanted to do was get my bit done and get out. It is so unbearably cold."
Davina is taking on the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Davina - Beyond Breaking Point, a seven day ordeal which will see the 46-year-old attempt to run, swim and cycle over 500 miles from Edinburgh to London - entirely under her own steam. The challenge will begin on 8th February, and finish in London on 14th February. Sponsor Davina at http://www.sportrelief.com/Davina
