The Annual "Swimarathon" Sponsored Team Marathon
Thornbury Leisure Centre
Friday, Saturday and Sunday March 12 - 14, 2010
Rotary team For the 27th year, we invite you to join in our community swimming event, get some healthy exercise and raise much-needed funds for the Meningitis Research Foundation, the Fairbridge Trust, and other good causes. Swimmers of all ages and abilities are most welcome. Form a team of up to 6 swimmers and swim lengths in relay for 55 minutes. Get some your friends and family to sponsor you. This can raise lots of money - almost £10,000 last year.  Please help us to add to our cumulative donations of well over £260,000. Every competitor will receive a certificate of achievement.
On Friday there are three sessions at 6:15pm, 7:15pm and 8:15pm.  On Saturday and Sunday there are two, at 7:15pm and 8:15pm. For further information, please contact Philip Savage on 01454 413009, or email him by clicking here.
