The event is possible due to generous local sponsors who are kindly covering most of the costs: Lucy Electric, Aston Hearing & Thame Leisure Centre (Better).
We are looking for teams of up to 6 swimmers. Each team is given a lane of the pool and will swim for 55 minutes. BUT ONLY ONE TEAM MEMBER SWIMS AT A TIME.
On average this means that each swimmer does about 10-20 lengths during the 55 minutes, but there is no need for each team member to swim the same number of lengths.
Every team member gets sponsorship for the TEAM either by total number of lengths swum which can be up to 100 lengths or sponsorship can be a lump sum for taking part.
Who benefits?
Everyone!
Local charities and a Team’s chosen charity if one is put forward.
The swimmers have lots of fun trying to swim as many lengths and raise as much sponsorship as they can.
Anyone over the age of 8 – Local Groups - Charities – Companies - Families – Friends – Churches – Offices – Shops –Scouts & Guides – Cubs & Brownies – Swimming Clubs – Health Clubs - Schools & Colleges – Policemen – Firemen – Paramedics – Nurses & Doctors – Businesses – Dentists
Medals
Each team member who swims will be given a commemorative medal and a certificate.
