The Rotary Charity Swimathon 2026

At Highworth Recreation Centre this is the SWIMATHON that gives a team of swimmers the opportunity to collect sponsorship for a charity of their choice. Free to enter and there will be Amazon vouchers for the 3 swimmers who collect the most sponsorship

Enter our SWIMATHON and raise funds for your favourite charity, cause or organisation.

Our Charity SWIMATHON gives a team of swimmers the opportunity to collect sponsorship for an organisation, cause or charity of their choice.  Team members can be friends, school or work colleagues, family members, in fact any group with a shared aim.  We organise and run the event and it's totally free to enter.

Swimathon 2025 raises £6,850 for charity

Our SWIMATHON is not a marathon or a race.  It's a FUN EVENT for swimmers of all ages and abilities to take part.

No-one will be asked to complete a certain distance or to swim at a certain speed, team members just swim in relay for 55 minutes.  All swimmers will be given a medal and a certificate to show how many lengths they completed.

Above all, what we ask is that each individual team member collects as much sponsorship as possible on themselves. We will give Amazon vouchers to the 3 swimmers with the highest individual sponsorship.

Ideally your team should have 4 to 8 members, people who are not only prepared to swim but also willing to collect sponsorship on themselves. Give your team a name, decide who will be the team captain, and select the charity or organisation you want to raise money for.  We suggest that each team member endeavours to collect at least £50 sponsorship on themselves.  Obviously, the more the better!   

As well as raising money for the charity of your choice our SWIMATHON will also be raising funds for Phoenix Enterprises

Phoenix Enterprises is both a charity and a social enterprise. It provides a vital safety net for over 120 vulnerable adults in Swindon with mental health issues, learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Their challenges range from Autism, Asperger’s and Downs Syndrome to depression and anxiety. It provides holistic day-to-day support in a structured production environment to improve peoples' confidence, morale, life and employability skills, and mental and physical health.
