    For many of us going for a swim is a treat – especially on a hot summer’s day.

    But imagine going in the water every day come rain or shine for a whole year!

    Eva has been taking to the water for 366 days, raising money for her local scout group so they can have more adventures.

    On her final swim she even got a message from the Chief Scout himself Bear Grylls who took the plunge himself to recognise her achievement. Well done Eva!

    Hundreds of migrants took advantage of a thick mist to swim to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from neighboring Morocco on Sunday (August 25) and early on Monday (August 26), local police said. Spain’s two enclaves on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast, Ceuta and Melilla, share the only land borders of the European Union with Africa. The enclaves sporadically experience waves of attempted crossings by migrants trying to reach Europe. Many of the migrants arriving in the past 24 hours were intercepted near or on El Tarajal beach next to the Ceuta-Morocco border, a spokesperson for the Guardia Civil police told Reuters.
