Butterwick Hospice is hoping its supporters will dive into its next fundraising challenge and swim the distance from the Tees Barrage in Stockton to their favourite local landmark.

Running from January 6 to March 30, participants are being encouraged to take to their local swimming pools to swim 4.5 miles (distance to the Riverside Stadium), 8.5 miles (Yarm Bridge) or 10.25 miles (Tees Mouth).

To register or for more information on how to take part go to teesactive.co.uk, email aquatics@teesactive.co.uk or visit Splash, Billingham Forum or Thornaby public swimming pools.
