The total distance added up to 11 kilometres and the young people raised in excess of £500.

Members of The Rotary Club of Amble and Warkworth sponsored the swimmers to the tune of £115 and the manager of the leisure complex added a further £20.  £300 of the total was raised from a collection outside Sainsbury’s which was added to the money donated through individual sponsorship.
