SWIMMING: Television presenter Gabby Logan and former Olympic swim-mer Duncan Goodhew are urging people to take part in the Nation's big swim.

They launched Swimathon 2006 a couple of months ago in aid of NCH, the children's charity, and want as many swimmers as possible to sign up for the event and raise funds for a worthy cause.

By joining Swimathon 2006, not only will you be giving your health, fitness and weight loss regimes a boost, you will be helping NCH to transform the lives of vulnerable children in your local community.

To join Swimathon today! Log on to www.swimathon.org, call 0845 367 0036, e-mail info@swimathon.org or pick up an entry form from your local participating pool.

Sutton Leisure Centre, Elton Head Road, Sutton, WA9 5AU is taking part in the event.
