Swimalong - 2025

Rotary Beckenham raises over £2,300 for Bromley Homeless

On Sunday 11 May, Rotary Beckenham staged the seventh Swimalong at The Spa in Beckenham, fundraising for this year’s chosen charity, Bromley Homeless.  The charity is the only charity in Bromley providing a holistic range of services to anyone in need as a result of homelessness.

The aim of the Swimalong is to swim a cumulative marathon and swimmers of any ability are welcomed.  Participation is free, but swimmers raise funds for the charity.

In previous years we have raised money for Fighting Poverty in Zambia, Children in Need, RNLI, London Air Ambulance, Bromley Little Theatre and Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre.

31 swimmers at Beckenham Spa and elsewhere between them swam over 31 miles!.  The target of a 26-mile marathon swim within three hours was smashed.

Deputy Mayor, Cllr Jonathan Andrews, attended and presented medals to the swimmers once they had finished.

Our thanks go to the Spa at Beckenham Leisure Centre for generously hosting the event this year.  Our thanks also to the volunteers, supporters and sponsors. 

Most of all, our thanks to the swimmers for taking part in this event and for the great result that they achieved.

Rotary Beckenham has raised over £25,000 for charity in its seven Swimalong events.
