Swim further, faster, or for longer than ever before
You may be trying to beat last year’s time on the Individual 5k, swim the Individual 1.5k for the first time, or complete a few laps as part of your contribution to your team’s total. Whatever your choice, we hope our Swimathon Distance Challenges will allow you to achieve your goal.
Fundraising
Take on the swim of your life and support Marie Curie Cancer Care at the same time. Fundraising online is fast, easy and secure. You will be able to track your fundraising progress through your personal fundraising pages.
Receive fundraising rewards when you reach one of the set target amounts; a Swimathon t-shirt when you raise £100+; or a Swimathon t-shirt and towel when you raise £300+, before 30 June 2013. Teams qualify based on the average raised per team member. Terms and conditions apply.
The Pools
645 pools across the UK hosted Swimathon 2012. Swimathon 2013 promises to have hundreds of pools up and down the country taking part. Wherever you live, we have a pool near you.
A legacy of London 2012, increased participation in sport, is a focus point for Swimathon 2013. Swimathon is encouraging greater participation in the sport of swimming, providing a great way to introduce swimmers to their local pools and encourage them to keep using facilities after the event.
