THE Barry Beavers Disabled Swimming Club has 70 members and a team of volunteers supporting a weekly swim at Barry Leisure Centre and a number of galas and events throughout the year.

Vale AM Jane Hutt visited the club to pay tribute to the work of trained volunteers and congratulate the swimmers on their achievements.

Jane said: "The club is very popular and has a hugely beneficial impact on the lives of members who range from five-years-old to swimmers in their early 70's. With rising costs it is vital that we support the Barry Beavers Club to ensure it can continue its great work."
