A GROUP of relative novices are swimming to Herm to raise money for Help the Heroes.
The swim will take place on 1 August and the 15-strong group took part in their first training challenge on Sunday – a swim in Pembroke Bay.
Swimming to Herm is notoriously difficult because of the strong currents so the Guernsey Swimming Club has offered its services to help the charity swimmers prepare.
The club has allowed the novices to train with them on Mondays and Thursdays and joint organiser Ian Sarchet said the charity swim would not have got off the ground without the club’s support.
