That the Parliament congratulates Matthew Haughey, Tom Grant, Ciara Macpherson and William Godding who raised over £2,000 for the community-owned swimming pool at Lochbroom Leisure Centre during a fundraising swim in March 2018; recognises the ingenuity of the fundraiser, which involved swimming through snow on a patch of grass outside the leisure centre; commends the fortitude of the participants who swam along the ground for four lengths despite the freezing conditions, and thanks all those who attended and donated to an important community resource.
