MEADOWLANDS Leisure Pool in Tavistock hosted its first ever Golden Mile Swimming Challenge recently, which saw the centre's staff, gym and swimming club members battle it out in a swim race, which raised money for WheelPower.

Staff and gym members from the leisure centre entered a team but it was the Tavistock Swim Club team which was victorious and won the Golden Mile Challenge Cup.

So far the Golden Mile Challenge has raised £100, for WheelPower – the national charity for wheelchair sport.

Dave Smith, business manager at Meadowlands, said: 'It was great to be able to raise money for WheelPower. A big thank you to Edward Carr for organising the event.'
