Headteacher, Mr. Allen, and pupils of Saundersfoot School welcomed the Saundersfoot New Year’s Day Swim mascot, Charlie Shivers, to their morning assembly this week.

The school has very close links with the local community and, once again, will take part in the swim. They have also decided on their fancy dress costume theme, which will remain a secret until New Year’s Day.

Martyn Williams, chairman of NYDS, said: “We have had a fantastic relationship with the school over the years and realise that these children are the swim’s future. We are delighted once again they will be going in on January 1.”
