Swimathon
Third Saturday in March at the Maldwyn Leisure Centre
The idea is that teams of up to 6 of any age enter the event and raise money through sponsorship for their own and Rotary's chosen charities. The money raised is split 50-50 with your charity and Rotary's charities.
We welcome teams from schools and youth groups, businesses and families. The team swims in relay for half an hour. It is not a race but the number of lengths is added up in that time.
The aim is to support local and international charities and projects. Rotary wish to support homelessness in Wales and clean water projects abroad. We want to support your charities and projects too and would be happy to hear about them.
Do come and join us. It should be fun!
