A five-year-old swimmer is using his incredible talent to raise money for a Wimbledon swimming club.
Ethan Coombes, from Carshalton, started swimming at just one year old and has already completed his 50m certificate.
At a Merton Swordfish Swimming Club gala, he won a medal for being the youngest person to compete in the one-length race.
Proud mum Maria Coombes, a swimming teacher, said: “If he carries on going the way he is maybe he can make a career out of it. Swimming is his best thing at the moment.”
Ethan will be taking part in a sponsored swim for Merton Swordfish club at Wimbledon leisure centre on February 27.
