WHY NOT get rid of that Christmas paunch and start the new year with good intentions by training for a charity Swimathon?

White Oak Leisure Centre, in Swanley's Hilda May Avenue, is providing training lanes and will be one of 525 centres running the event in March.

It is hoped more than £2m will be raised this year for Macmillan Cancer Relief and local charities.

With both serious and fun events, there is something for all swimming capabilities from a gruelling 5,000 metre swim to team relays.
