A KILWINNING youngster has made a splash with Sport Relief by raising over £300 thanks to a sponsored swim.

Ella Poole, who is nine, completed 64 lengths, or one mile, of Auchenharvie swimming pool in Stevenston on Saturday morning and managed to raise £353 in the process.

Ella had set an initial target of £200 so she smashed through that barrier.

Ella’s grandad Jim Cochrane said: “She was a tired, but very happy girl after her swim.

"Her parents, her grandparents are very proud of our Poole girl!” The family would also like to thank the Auchenharvie staff after they kindly roped off a lane for Ella to complete her challenge.
