The group raised more than £2,500 for charity 👏
The mum of a member of a swimming group said she's "immensely proud" as they completed 365 swims in a year in memory of her husband.
"All of the publicity will bring glioblastoma to the public attention because people won’t be aware of it unless it affected them personally. Peter Gilgunn, who started the cold-water swims after his father was diagnosed with cancer in November 2021, was overwhelmed by the turnout of well-wishers. Dessie Aughey, one of the founder members, said the daily swims had saved his life: “It’s a miracle story. I broke my back when a horse fell on top of me in 2015. I could hardly move then I found this place.
“I was determined to raise awareness of this terrible disease and hopefully encourage more funding into finding a cure,” he added.
