Sports Relief ‘Swimathon’

On Sunday 23rd March, Katie Pitts, Grace Lane, Jade and Kirsten Pinson swam 1.5km in the Olympic pool at the Aquatic Centre in London and raised a very commendable £450 for Sports Relief.

They thoroughly enjoyed the day and were delighted to meet Duncan Goodhew while they were there. We also wish to give them our congratulations for being placed in the top 10 for their times. A very proud coach, Vince Lane, watched on poolside throughout the day while the girls had their very memorable swim.
