Swim a mile with a smile :)

On Friday we got a talk from Mr Daly about the Swim a mile with a smile. We were told that we would be taking part in it this year on the 15th of April in the National Aquatic centre. www.nationalaquaticcentre.ie

We were told all about the swim and where the inspiration for the swim came from. Mr. Daly told us about his son Ian who was sick and all about his sons life and how he loved to swim. After Mr. Daly told us about his son Ian and a bit about the swim he told us about a place called barretstown. This is a place were seriously ill children can go and just be children and have fun. he then showed us a video of what the people in barrestown do and how they make the children really happy.

we were told that all the money that is raised will be going to Crumlin Children's hospital and Barrestown. We are able to swim the mile on our own or we can swim the mile in groups. The mile is 64 lengths of a pool and i think that im going to try and swim it on my own. And well if i can do it i can always ask some for some help. But im going to try.
