    BIG SWIM: Lifeguards and staff from Jubilee Park Swimming Pool in Woodhall Spa swam 100 miles for The Friends of Jubilee Park.

The 100 miles – equivalent to 4,952 lengths, took the swimmers around nine hours to complete.

Joe Stanhope, Jubilee Park manager, who was one of the swimmers said: “We all swam different amounts and actually the weakest swimmers did a lot extra for us which helped complete the challenge. We already have £350 raised and we hope the final amount will be around £400.”
