It's happened! The 2026 SwiMarathon was amazing!

Swimarathon is about raising money for good causes and involving the community in a great fun weekend

In total 31 teams comprising almost 130 swimmers, swam over 3,000 lengths at Market Harborough Leisure Centre, which is over 80km, for the Rotary Club’s SwiMarathon 2026. This is now one of the biggest fun swimming events in the area. It runs from 2pm until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend in March each year.

One team of swimmers from Market Harborough Triathlon Club swam an amazing 181 lengths of the Leisure centre pool in a 50-minute relay. This is a record for the event, which started in 2011. Congratulations, too, for the Church of England Primary school who fielded six teams and filled all the lanes of the pool for one session on Sunday. Perhaps other schools could do the same next year?

All the efforts of swimmers and business supporters have raised over £10,000 so far. Twenty-one local, generous business sponsors also support the SwiMarathon with donations, both financial and in kind, which means that the swimmers' sponsorship money will all go back to local good causes and charities.
