On Wednesday 6th, St.Wolstan's TYs and 5th
year LCVP students took part in the annual Swim A Mile, in the National Aquatic
Centre in Blanchardstown. This is a well known fundraiser in Ireland, which raises money for Barretstown, a summer camp where seriously ill children can go for a week to have fun and take part in several different activities.
The task was to swim a total of 64 lengths
of a 25 metre pool, to complete one whole mile. It could be done in
groups, or individually.
I decided that I was going to try and swim
the mile by myself. It was hard work but it felt so satisfying when I had
completed the full mile! We went to Blanchardstown shopping centre after for food :)
Everyone did so well, and it was really nice to take
part in such an important charity event!
