Year-long swim challenge woman rewarded with adopted seal

A woman who has completed a year-long swim challenge has received a surprise reward from her friends.

Allie Dart visited the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, which she has been raising money for, where her friends surprised her with an adopted seal.

The leisure manager has swum around Paignton Pier 365 times in a year to raise money.

She completed the swimming challenge on Halloween and was joined by dozens of supporters for the final swim.
