We need YOU
Our Swimarathon is brought to you by the four Rotary Clubs of Northampton and is an exciting fund raising event. It will be enjoyed by all the participants. Half the money you raise in Sponsorship will go to the charity, club or good cause of your choice.
All ages and swimming abilities are welcome to participate. This is not a race or a competition. It is a fun event for your participation and enjoyment.
Can you put together a team (or teams) of 6 swimmers to swim, relay style, for one hour and join this major local fund raiser.
