CHILDREN will be joining hundreds of open water swimmers for the first time this year at The Outdoor Swimming Society's annual Swoosh event at Bantham in South Devon.
The charity event, where hundreds of intrepid adult swimmers take to the water on the turning tide and swim 6km downstream from Aveton Gifford to the sea at Bantham, has been running since 2015.
The entire village of Bantham in South Devon is to be sold for £10 million
The village which has only 25 houses, a pub and a shop that opens only on weekends is set to be sold off as part of the a £35 million sale of a family owned estate.
Residents lease the houses from Evans Estates who own the properties and many of the leases have carried on for generations.
