BBC swimmers complete 24-hour CiN challenge

Tim Hunter, Matt Judge, Holly-Anne Langlois, Charlie Le Noury and Olivia Fraser swam 24 miles (39km)

BBC Guernsey's swim team have completed their 24-hour swim challenge in aid of Children in Need (CiN).

The team of five, Tim Hunter, Matt Judge, Holly-Anne Langlois, Charlie Le Noury and Olivia Fraser, swam 24 miles (39km) towards the BBC local radio's 1,000 mile (1,609km) total.

The team started the challenge at 08:00 BST on Tuesday in Beau Sejour.

Cheerleader and snack provider Isla Blatchford said: "I’m not sure they realised what they were signing up for but they have absolutely smashed the challenge and for such an important cause."

The team said it was an incredible effort from everyone involved.

The charity is currently funding projects in Guernsey valued at £224,797 as part of of almost 1,500 projects across the British Isles, CiN bosses said.
