Richard (33), of Wellington Street Heanor is attempting to swim one million yards in under five years. The big swim is under the Amateur Swimming Association’s adult award scheme. The silver award is for having swum 35,000 yards in 18 months – he in fact completed it in only 11 months. Now he has started on the third stage the gold award.
