Community / ‘Wild weemin’ complete cold water swimming challenge in aid of Cancer Research UK
MORE than £13,000 has been raised by cold water swimmers Glynis Harcus, Linda Moncrieff, Emma Knight, Wendy Hatrick, Jane Murphy and Anita Georgeson (left to right) as they were making the final dip of their month long challenge at Bain’s Beach, in Lerwick, on Thursday afternoon.
They invite all cold water swimmers to join in for a big finale at the same location on Sunday 10 December at 1.30pm, to be followed by soup and sandwiches, hot drinks and live music at the Lerwick Boating Club.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
