The club's members will swim 5k (200 lengths) in teams to build their stamina, perseverance and test their endurance, whilst at the same time having fun and raising valuable funds!

They will join over 21,000 swimmers heading down to over 600 pools across the UK on the 29th March, to raise money for our two amazing charity partners.
