SWIMMERS who took part in an annual charity challenge raised more than £2,000 for Macmillan Cancer Relief.
They joined an annual swimathon at Stokesley Leisure Centre, part of a national initiative.
More than 30 people joined in, aged from six to 65. One of the youngest to take part, Matthew Williamson, nine, from Great Broughton, swam 5,000 metres in two hours and 15 minutes.
Assistant manager David Earl said: "Matthew's challenge was amazing, but there were many people pushing themselves to swim further than ever before in order to raise money for this charity.
"We have been taking part in the swimathon for many years, but this was the best one yet.
"Collecting £2,000 is a great achievement by everyone involved."
