More than 30 people braved the sea at the Sunny Coast Lido in Qawra today for a charity swim in aid of Id-Dar tal-Providenza. 

Despite the 19 degree-waters, beautiful weather encouraged the swimmers not to think twice before diving in to lend the Siġġiewi home a helping hand. 

Id-Dar tal-Providenza director Fr Martin Micallef thanked the swimmers, Manuel Calleja - whose idea it was to organise the charity swim - and the management of the Sunny Coast Lido. A word of thanks also went to the St John Ambulance Brigade and Civil Protection Department members, who were there in case of an emergency.
