At our Annual Members Meeting in February, we asked you to vote on which summer challenge you want to take on this year and you voted for The River Thames!

The challenge will take place throughout July and August and to complete it, we will ask every swimmer to tell us how many lengths they have swum at the end of the session, and we will add up all the lengths. Together, we need to complete 346 kilometres, which is 13,840 lengths. On average that means 1730 lengths each week. WOW, are you ready for this challenge?

This is a big challenge and a great opportunity to do some fundraising for our club.

We are asking you to ask friends and family to support and encourage you to help us reach our target of swimming the length of the Thames by the end of August and if they want to sponsor you, there is a sponsorship form you can download from here. We will use the money you raise to buy new equipment and towards paying for our pool hire.

For a bit of fun, there is also a swim log for you to record your weekly sessions to see how well you are doing. Remember, this is a whole team effort and every length counts, so do what you can but make sure it is fun and safe.
