TEN days before her 68th birthday, Mary Sergeant swam five kilometres, or 200 lengths, of Mount Kelly Pool and raised £581 through sponsorship, for Sportrelief.

Mary thanks all those who sponsored her so generously. She took 2 hours 5 minutes to complete this challenge, which equates to about 37 seconds per length. She said it found this challenge very hard and ‘is not looking forward to repeating it any time soon!’

Mary thanks especially Liz Vernon who coaches her at the swimming group that she attends at Mount Kelly.
