This year’s 39th annual Frome Lions Club sponsored swim has raised nearly £6,000 for charity.
The event sees local clubs and organisations take part to raise money for charities of their choosing, alongside Frome Lions Club charities.
This year’s beneficiaries included SWEDA, which supports people affected by eating disorders, and Children’s Hospice South West.
A presentation evening was held at Frome Cricket Club, where Lions president Allison Rumming welcomed participants and presented awards.
Cup winners included Trinity First School, which took the John Barrow Cup for best-performing school with 223 laps.
Selwood School won the Gerald Williams Shield for raising the most sponsorship with £2,043, and also completed the most laps overall with 359.
The Double Base Cup for top fundraising team went to Donuts, who raised £631.50, while Frome Swimming Club completed the most laps with 422.
Donuts also took the Presidents Cup for most widths with 102.
Lion Mike Geake said, “Frome Lions are indebted to Holcim UK for generously sponsoring the event which covered the cost of pool hire and sundry expenses, which means that all monies raised by the teams have gone to the Lions’ chosen charities and the swimmers charities or causes.”
