Have a sponsored splash any way you are able so we can continue to send out our SOS

Be inventive and most importantly HAVE FUN!

It's totally up to you what water-themed challenge you want to do - be sure to tailor it to your own health status and don't take on something too difficult which will compromise your recovery, or which could cause PEM/PESE.

We'd love to see your photos or videos - lets raise as much money as possible so we can do more to throw a lifeline to people living with Long Covid

Share your photos and videos on social media and tag us!

Whatever you decide to do, always follow the Water safety code !

Most importantly, be sure to stay safe when doing anything around water. Swimming in open water carries risks: always follow the essential RNLI advice and unless you are acclimatised to cold water please be very careful. Read this information to make sure you avoid cold water shock which can be very dangerous
