About 75 swimmers of all ages took to the sea in St. Julians this morning, raising more than €5,000 for the Community Chest Fund.

They were taking part in the annual Thomas Smith annual charity swim, which started off as a challenge 11 years ago by Anton Buttigieg, a manager at Thomas Smith Group. Today’s swim would be remembered for the uncharacteristic warm weather and bright sunshine, which made the swimmer's effort that little bit easier.
