A WHOLE family took part in a sponsored swim to help raise £500 for the Bishop Auckland Diabetes Laser Appeal.
Barbara Steele, from Hunwick, organised her family into two relay teams - children versus grandchildren - for the challenge at Glenholme baths in Crook.
The teams, comprising children Peter, Shauna, Mairi, Jeremy and Barbara, and her three grandchildren Jack, ten, Phillipa, 12 and Nicky, 15, completed 93 lengths in 45 minutes.
