A young swimmer and her teacher have been described as "amazing superheroes" after they completed a marathon-and-a-half challenge to raise money for their community pool.
Ten-year-old India Elliott swam 13.1 miles and Becky Townend swam 26.2 miles in total in the Carnforth Community Pool during the February half-term, taking 16 hours in total to complete the challenge over several days.
India's mum Lisa said the pair were "amazing superheroes".
"I can't be any prouder than I am today," she said.
They are raising money for Carnforth Community Pool, where India is a member of the swimming squad and Becky is assistant manager and swimming teacher.
