Great-grandmother of Welsh international Josh Adams fulfils wish to go swimming

The great-grandmother of Welsh rugby international Josh Adams took to the waters for the first time in years having expressed a wish to go swimming. Kitty Adams, 98, was supported by her son and staff at the care home where she lives to fulfil her wish which left her "on the verge of tears."

The Llys-Y-Tywysog Residential Home resident, from Swansea, has lived at the home for two years and is "beloved" by staff and residents. Her wish to go swimming came to light after she wrote it down on a piece of paper and adding it to the wishing jar.

Staff at the home in Grovesend all pulled together to make sure Kitty's dream became a reality and were there to see the smile on her face as she got back into the water, which gave her so much joy in her youth.
