Local winners of the Hope For Youth Speedo charity swim gala

A jubilant Speedo All-star team including City of Belfast Swimming Club’s Iain Chisholm celebrates their victory at the Hope For Youth charity swim at London’s Porchester Hall last week, sponsored by Speedo. The evening swimming gala and dinner resulted in more than £50,000 funds raised to help young people across Northern Ireland through Hope For Youth.

Joined by teammates including Olympians Keri-Anne Payne and Dan Bullock along with Lieutenant Albany Mulholland of the Household Cavalry, Iain’s and his team beat out an opposing relay team to take home the cup.

Also participating in the event were world-class swimmers Sean Conway, Mark Jamieson and James Hickman as well as presenter Gethin Jones. Guests included Johnson Beharry, the only living recipient of the Victoria Cross, and Hope For Youth’s patron Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester.
