There was a record breaking turnout down at Angle as their annual New Year’s Day Swim took place.

The charity event, in its sixth year, saw 137 swimmers braving the cold water, with funds raised going to the Paul Sartori Foundation.

This was up from the 65 entrants who took part in the 2019 swim.

That wasn’t the only record smashed, with £1,630 being raised for Paul Sartori.

Joanne Lutwyche, who organises the event, said: “We managed to have 137 swimmers this year; we doubled last year’s entrants and we raised a whopping £1,630 - over £500 more than last year.

“I want to say thank you to everyone, I’m still getting my head round what happened. All our fund-raising goes to Paul Sartori Foundation, thank you.

“The weather was very kind to us which helped a lot, our eldest entrant was 72 and youngest was three.

On the day we raised £1,630 - there were some online donations too - and some groups raised money for other charities, so in total at the moment it looks like the event has helped to raise over £2,700.”
