Alice is raising money for Guernsey Conservation Volunteers with her swimming challenge

A 12-year-old girl from Guernsey is aiming to complete 100 sea swims in 100 days for a conservation charity.

Alice is raising money for Guernsey Conservation Volunteers by swimming at least 100 metres (328ft) every day as she is "passionate about the natural world and loves Guernsey's environment".

She said she wanted to push herself "even further" after swimming across Havelet Bay for a week last year, raising money for the GSPCA.

Alice, who is 10 days into her swimming challenge, said it had been "a little bit challenging to go from school every day".

She is hoping to raise £500 for the charity.

Alice said she had friends joining her in the water on some days and was swimming alone on others.

She said it was "pretty intimidating" knowing she would have to swim for more than three months.

Alice often swims at the Bathing Pools in St Peter Port but also at beaches around the island such as Cobo Bay.
