A pupil from Sageston CP School was one of three Pembrokeshire primary school pupils to win a special trip to the county's flagship leisure centre recently.
The three youngsters were invited to the official opening of the new Haverfordwest Leisure Centre after winning a poster competition.
During their visit, the three pupils met double Olympic swimming medallist, David Davies, and were also able to see their winning work on display in the foyer.
The competition was run by Pembrokeshire Leisure - the leisure arm of Pembrokeshire County Council - and Smokebugs, the anti-smoking club for youngsters.
Over 500 members of Smokebugs from 20 Pembrokeshire schools entered the contest with prizes of one year's junior membership to Pembrokeshire Leisure facilities given to the three winners.
Eight-year-old Hannah Stephens from Ysgol Clydau in Tegryn was the Year 4 winner and also overall winner of the competition.
Hannah had brought her class on a visit to the new centre prior to its opening as part of her prize.
Ryan Smith, of Sageston Primary School, won the Year 5 competition and Elinore Lloyd of Ysgol Ger-y-Llan in Letterston was the Year 6 winner.
Pauline Turner, centre manager, said it was wonderful to see children taking an active role in combating smoking.
"The posters they produced are very powerful and get over the message that smoking can damage your health," she said.
"I congratulate all the youngsters, who took part."
Funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and organised locally by the National Public Health Service in conjunction with Hywel Dda NHS Trust, Smokebugs is a national club for youngsters aged between eight and 11, who want to stay smoke free.
School health and community dental teams take advantage of their visits to schools to discuss with children the benefits of staying smoke free and the links between smoking and bad teeth and gums as well as other illnesses.
"Smoking is very bad for young people trying to stay fit and healthy," said Ian Scale, principal public health officer. "So we decided to mark the opening of the new Leisure Centre with a special competition."
