Youngsters dive in for charity

Two young swimmers made a splash at a recent charity swim.

Eight year old Megan Rogers and 10 year old Ellie Parks – both from Milford Haven – took to their local pool for a charity swimathon.

The girls were among 24 swimmers – both children and adults – who swam in aid of the Marie Curie Cancer charity.

The swimmers swam 200 lengths of Milford Haven’s Leisure Centre pool either as individuals or as part of a team.

Both Megan and Ellie, who swim regularly for the Milford Haven swimming squad, swam 200 lengths each finishing in one hour and 43 minutes.

“The two girls did very well and it was particularly great to see Megan take part as she was diagnosed with leukemia in 2008,” said swimming teacher Tracy Parks. “She did extremely well to finish the event.”
