When Abbey Ward Councillor Ann Jaron decided it was time to undo 40 years of bad swimming habits, she signed up for lessons with Sandwell Leisure Trust's Swim School.
Six months later she managed to complete a 500m open water swim in Ullswater in the Lake District with a water temperature of 13 degrees, rather than the usual pool 29 degrees. Here Ann shows off her medal and presents her teacher Stephanie with an apple… Which just goes to prove that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Now that’s REALLY impressive! Congratulations .
I will have to have a dual with the person who called one of my favourite ladies an old dog!!!!!!!!
Lol!
