Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2023 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Story

Hello, I am George, a busy dad of 2 daughters and a keen swimmer. For several months, I have been preparing to swim 5 km along with my Team - the 2EG Dippers.

I like to set myself new challenges. My target is to swim 1 km in under 17 mins. That's about 1 metre per second! 

Your support means a lot to me - many thanks!
