It’s that time of year to get hit the water for charity

Swimathon, the world’s biggest swimming challenge is back for another year. Once again people will go to their nearest participating pool and swim for charity.

Whether you chose to go it alone, or as part of a team, have a go! You can even chose to swim from 400m to Triple 5k. There’s a distance for everyone.
