This is the 25th year in succession that we have held this great event. We are inviting people to organise teams of six swimmers who swim in relay over 55 minutes in one lane having obtained sponsorship either per length or per session.

It is a fun event and the Castle School Steel Band will be playing at the pool side which always produces a wonderful atmosphere of fun and fellowship in the pool.

So far, over 25 years, this event has raised over £250,000 for local and national charities and this year the main beneficiaries of the Swimarathon will be The Fairbridge Trust (which helps young people aged 13–25 years who have had great difficulties, for example with drugs or alcohol etc, to turn their lives around and gain meaningful employment) and Meningitis Research Foundation of Thornbury.

To confirm the input of everyone involved, we will present certificates to each participant in recognition of the effort they have put into this event.

If you would like to take part and obtain a sponsorship form, please contact Philip Savage on 01454 413009 or by email below.

It would be great to see you there!

The “BIG SPLASH” has become a hugely popular and successful event.

There will be 3 sessions on Friday 12th starting from 6.15pm (particularly suitable for our younger participants) and 2 sessions on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th from 7.15pm – allowing for 84 teams.

PLEASE get friends, relatives or work colleagues to sponsor you or your team, or even better to enter teams themselves. Help to make the JUBILEE extra special!

Last year's Swimarathon was a great success. Thanks to everyone who took part, we raised over £8,000, with major donations gratefully received by CLIC Sargent, and Macmillan Cancer Support and of course, as with every year, many smaller charities and fund-raising schemes also benefited from this outstanding effort.
