Youngsters managed to raise £300 for their swim school by swimming more than 26 miles.

Swimmers at BTM Dolphins Swim School in Bedwas raised the much-needed funds for the club by swimming 26.2 miles – equivalent to a marathon – in Bedwas pool recently.

The not-for-profit club which is run by volunteers managed the feat in 90 minutes with members and parents helping to swim lengths.

BTM Dolphins teach children to swim between the ages of five and 16.

The club is seeking new sponsorship and members. For more information email btmdolphins@gmail.com
