Story

Teams of up to five people, will swim in our Endless Pool over the weekend of the 26th & 27th July.  We will set the swimming pools ‘Fastlane’ system, which creates a strong, smooth current to swim against, to a 1 minute 40 second 100 metre pace.  Once the final team member exits the Endless Pool at 16.55 on Sunday the 27th July, the swimmers will have combined to swim a Marathon, 26 miles.

Each team has a target for donations, which, if met, will mean the teams alone will raise £10,000 for the Cornwall Air Ambulance.  Our hope is that they will surpass this through the generosity of sponsorship from the public and businesses, and through donations made by supporters on the day.

We are now accepting applications to register a team to complete a block, and ask those that are interested to give us a call on 01726 860866, email Christian on christian@cornwallpools.co.uk.
