Last Sunday, the pool at West Wight Sports and Community Centre (WWSCC) in Freshwater was asplash with people swimming 100 laps, to qualify for the Solent Swim on Sunday, July 4. Among the swimmers this year is Britta Aggar, a popular West Wight cabbie, who will be celebrating her marriage a couple of days earlier. “I am a first-timer,” said German-born Britta. “It’s going to be an unforgettable week – I am also marrying my partner, Andy Cotton.” Britta’s training has combined pool swimming, boot camp and running – up to nine times a week. Britta is raising money for Mountbatten as well as WWSCC.
