We've had a crazy, busy weekend visiting the Telegraph Outdoor Show, London Bike Show, Triathlon Show, Dive Show and Cruising Show.

We spent quite a bit of time with Street Velodrome and Quella Bicyles who were holding races throughout the weekend. Sir Chris Hoy put in an appearance and we gave him his very own SwimCell waterproof case for phone so that when he's out cycling his phone won't get wet. He kindly signed one for us too so I'm sure we will use that as a giveaway at some point in the future. Be sure to sign up to our newsletter if you'd like to win that!

Congratulations to Hannah Spriggs the winner of our Facebook Like and Share competition. Hannah won a pink SwimCell waterproof case for her phone. With 3 children and lots of running around we're sure that even with daily use this will protect Hannah's phone from spills and accidents.

We're delighted to see SwimCell and Owner Amy Day feature in some local Cornish newspapers this week. The Article is as follows:

A Penzance-bred entrepreneur has just received the sort of recommendation for her product that any business would dream of having.

Former Humphry Davy and Penwith College student Amy Day launched her waterproof bag for phones – SwimCell – just six months ago.

And now she has received a message on her Facebook page from a delighted holidaymaker from London who said she was the “luckiest girl alive” after losing her phone in the waves at Polzeath in north Cornwall.

Nicola's message read: “As the waves were quite small this morning we went out paddling on our boards and I took my phone in a waterproof case to take photos.

“I paddled around searching for ages but it was impossible to see anything.”

Four hours later however the phone – undamaged and photos intact – was found by a couple of girls who were rock-pooling.

“I have always been sceptical of gadgets but I can definitely say that yours is brilliant and I have also bought myself one.”

Amy told The Cornishman she had the idea of the SwimCell bag while taking time out after going through a tough time personally.

“I went to a small island in Indonesia to get away from everyone asking what I was going to do with my life,” she said.

“I went to lie on the beach and it was there that I thought wouldn’t it be cool if you can take photos on your phone in the water instead of having to buy a waterproof camera.

“Nicola’s story made me very proud to see my product being used in Cornwall by someone on holiday and have such a story.

“I’d like to add that attaching a float to the SwimCell is a good idea if you’re out in deep water.”

SwimCells are available for sale in Annes Cottage shops and watersports warehouse, and online from www.swimcell.com and amazon.co.uk
