Story

Take the plunge and get into water to participate in BHF Cymru’s Swim 60, starting in Heart Month in February. Supported by Swim Wales, take on a swimming challenge and fundraise for BHF Cymru. Open to all ages and abilities, it could be 60 minutes, 60 days, 60 lengths or 60 miles - choose your time and distance.

Alternatively, take part as a group or club, ideas include swimming relays, water polo matches, artistic swimming shows, open water challenges or in your local swimming pool. Link your Just Giving page to this and let us know about your challenge.

The money raised will help the British Heart Foundation fund vital research into heart and circulatory diseases, such as stroke, coronary heart disease and vascular dementia. Heart and circulatory diseases are the cause of around 2900 premature deaths in Wales each year. 340,000 people in Wales are living with these conditions and around 26 people are losing their lives each day. We're urging Wales to unite behind our mission to help save and improve lives, keeping more families together by raising money for lifesaving research.
