A total of 24 teams made up of 109 swimmers took part in this, our fourth Swimathon .
The Rotary Triers - the team from our own Club;
The Avenue Triers - representing The Avenue Pub in Shincliffe
Three teams from Freeman's Quay (the "professionals");
Two teams from the Treetops Children's ward at Dryburn Hospital:
Two teams from Finchale College (including "The Directors");
Four teams from St. Leonard's School;
Two teams from Down's Syndrome North East:
Five teams from Durham High School for Girls;
Two teams from Teikyo University in Durham;
and last - but not least - a team from the Rotary Club of Durham Elvet.
Well done to all of them - we now look forward to counting all that sponsorship money!
Update: The proceeds were distributed at an event in the Town Hall on March 27 2012.
Unfortunately, there are no photos of the team from Durham Elvet Rotary Club, the last team to swim, to conclude this report.
I'm afraid I had to leave early so that I could visit that wonderful festival of light in Durham - "Lumiere" - and I can't resist including a few images ...
