Swim 4

As part of the Irish Water Safety scheme, local children are offered swimming and lifesaving lessons in a local lough (lake) for 2 weeks during the summer holidays.

Beats Peterlee baths......

The theory behind this is that it encourages stronger swimming.
In spite of swimming in all sorts of weather conditions during the 2 weeks - sun, rain and the wind which made some great waves on the lake, Eleanor went on to pass her Swim 4 certificate.

Swim 4 in action......

Graduation day !! Well done Ellie !!
