Story

The Eastbourne College swimming team with be completing a 24hr swimathon. This is to raise money for the blue sky bursary appeal and to support the Dubai sports tour 2025. The money raised will be split evenly between these two causes. Pupils will start the swim at 6pm Wednesday 23rd October and swim through the night finishing at 6pm Thursday 24th. We hope to raise money to provide others the opportunity to use our wonderful facilities and have these experiences in the future. If you or anyone you know has been to St Andrew's Prep or Eastbourne College, you will know the wonderful path an education here sets pupils on. The charity's Blue Sky Bursaries Appeal is fundraising so that many more children can benefit from what the schools offer. Can you help?
