Adrian Sarchet completes epic fundraising swim
Donations continue to roll in after Adrian Sarchet completed his 24-hour fundraising swim.
Crowds lined the walls of the Bathing Pools cheering and clapping as he touched the wall of the Ladies Pool at 3pm yesterday, having swum 59,250 metres – a personal record distance.
Adrian immediately lay on his back and punched the air with both hands, before turning to clap in appreciation of all those who had gathered to support him.
The money raised from the Sea Donkey 24 Hour Swim Challenge will go towards wheelchair and assisted access facilities at La Vallette.
So far £125,123 has been donated out of a £150,000 target.
While the new facilities at the Bathing Pools are open, Vive La Vallette has not yet raised the total cost of the overall project which is estimated to be around £2 million.
More than 60 teams swam alongside Adrian for one-hour sections of his challenge.
