DASC Swimmers take part in Open Water Training

On Sunday 16th May several DASC swimmers had their first experience of open water swimming training in Ellerton Lake. They were accompanied in the water by Head Coach, Glen Fenby, and Robyn's dad. Fortunately it was a warm, sunny day, which helped them cope with the chilly water temperatures, as did wetsuits for those who wore them.

Emilia's Sponsored Swim for Charity

Emilia, who is in B squad, took part in a sponsored swim at the Dolphin Centre on Sunday 9 May to raise money for the charity Action for ME. This was at the start of a special awareness week highlighting what the disease ME does to people's lives and the fact that there is no cure for it yet.

Emilia swam 80 lengths of the pool (2km) in 54 minutes and did most of it Breaststroke. She was cheered on by her family and friends. She would like to thank them and all those who sponsored her, as well as the Dolphin Centre for their kind help to her. She has so far raised a super £393 for the charity. Emilia hopes to do another sponsored swim for the charity next year and is aiming at 3 km in that one.

DASC Head Coach, Glen Fenby, said, 'It is great to see one of our young swimmers using their talent to help others.'
