The 7th Braintree Brownies completed a sponsored swim at Braintree Swimming Centre and covered an amazing 11,800 metres between them, or 733 lengths.

Stacey Chinnery, from the group, said: "The girls were amazing and gave it their all for this amazing cause.

"The girls have such a positive attitude and the whole event was wonderful.

"Thank you to all the leaders and parents for making this event happen."
