Well, what can I say, this nearly bought tears to my eyes, I went all goose bumpy.

This young man over the past few years, has been one of my biggest challenges and I his.

Between his mum Nicola and myself, we have never, ever given up on him, and tonight with no prompting, only giggling, ( if you know Fin, you will understand,) encouragement and determination Finley swam his 25metres without any hiccups.

I am beyond proud of you Finley.

HOW MANY CALORIES CAN YOU BURN SWIMMING? 💦🔥

Swimming is a fantastic full-body workout — and the amount of energy you use can vary depending on your stroke, speed and effort.

🏅 Butterfly – up to ~1,000 calories/hour
💪 Breaststroke – up to ~770 calories/hour
🏊 Front Crawl – up to ~735 calories/hour
🌊 Backstroke – up to ~710 calories/hour

Approximate figures based on a 75 kg adult swimming at a vigorous/training intensity. Actual calorie expenditure varies from person to person.

Whatever your stroke, every length counts! 💙🏊‍♀️

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔.🚨 💔

IT’S NOT THE NEWS WE ALL WANTED TO HEAR. — POLICE HAVE SADLY CONFIRMED THAT A BODY OF A CHILD HAS BEEN FOUND IN DECOY POND IN THE SEARCH FOR MISSING NOAH.

HEARTS GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND EVERYONE WHO LOVED HIM AT THIS DEVASTATING TIME. THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN EASE THE PAIN OF SUCH A HEARTBREAKING LOSS.

OUR THOUGHTS ARE ALSO WITH EVERYONE WHO HELPED SEARCH FOR NOAH AND HOPED HE WOULD BE BROUGHT HOME SAFELY.

REST IN PEACE, LITTLE NOAH. FLY HIGH WITH THE ANGELS. 💔🕊️

Heartbreaking news.💔
