Our local swimmer Jonny Green is taking on the English Channel in September and fundraising for Settle Pool.

He will be crossing the entire 21 miles of water from England to France, accompanied only by a guide boat carrying supporters, and braving one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Undeterred by hazards of the deep including swarms of stinging jellyfish, Jonny has been training for this incredible journey all year.

He has swum a huge number lengths of our pool to build up for the crossing, and his final training session will be in the Scilly Isles.

Please show your support for his dedication and generosity by donating here https://www.justgiving.com/page/jonathan-green-channel-swim2024

Good luck Jonny!
