Golf lovers have the chance to join world championship-winning swimmer James Hickman and Olympic gold medallist turned BBC commentator Andrew Jameson on the Ashridge golf course, as part of a day to raise money for the Swimming Trust.

The day, which starts at 11.a.m with lunch, is followed by a round of golf with the swimming stars and will conclude with a three course evening dinner with guest speaker and Olympic bronze medallist Steve Parry.

James Hickman, who retired from competitive swimming in 2004, said: "The Swimming Trust is all about providing opportunity in swimming for all walks of life.

"It is a really important life skill, it can save your life and it is also a brilliant sport to stay healthy as it's low impact and the water supports your body weight.

"So in using both arms and legs to swim you tone up lots of different muscles while using lots of calories. The perfect sport really!"

Susan Jenkins, who is organising the day, added: "It will be a good day for anyone interested in swimming and wants to meet these guys and anyone who wants to put something back into the community."

Golfers who want to take part in the day can do so as individuals, in teams of three (with an athlete), or in teams of four (with friends and colleagues).

The day costs £150 per person, including lunch, golf and a three course evening meal. There is also the option of attending just the evening meal for £40.
