CAMELFORD Leisure Centre hosted a 24-hour Swimathon in aid of the Friends of Camelford Leisure Centre on Friday, October 28.

Over 180 sponsored swimmers kept a constant pace going for the whole 24 hours with the aim to raise much needed funds to support the future of the pool. The age range of the sponsored swimmers ran from 3 to 86, between them swimming right through the night and on into Saturday evening.

Alongside the lane for the sponsored swimmers, the pool was also busy with leisure swimmers and families and friend all enjoyed a swim late into the night and early hours of the morning.

All funds raised at the event will go to Friends of Camelford Leisure centre to help fund the future of the pool.
