Eight year-old Ipswich boy Christopher Tarrant has received a swimming award from local estate agent Jonathan Waters in recognition of his perseverance and determination. Jonathan’s company sponsors the swimming development programme at Ipswich Borough Council’s Crown Pools and he has particular empathy with the youngster as Jonathan himself has learnt to swim on the programme and understands just how much determination is needed. Jonathan said: “Christopher has really impressed his teachers at Crown Pools and it is great to see the children’s faces when they achieve this type of recognition.”
Christopher’s swimming teacher, Teresa Daykin, is also very proud of him and explained: “He has been working so hard over the summer months, so much so that he has managed to jump two levels to achieve the required standard for the Swans Course, which is very unusual.”
