SWIMMERS in Bridgwater were given the seal of approval last Tuesday afternoon by the Swimmer Teachers Association’s (STA) ‘Stanley the seal’.

The mascot was in town encouraging children and adults to take up swimming during half-term as swimming lesson provider Swim-time expands into the South-West.

Laura Bounding, of Swimtime South-West, said: “It’s been great so far. We’ve had a lot of interest and the children love Stanley.”
