Over 1.5 million in the UK have endometriosis and the impact of the disease is for some devastating, yet diagnosis takes on average 8 years. With your donations we are turning this around, raising awareness, providing support and information, supporting research, and campaigning for change.

Story

Are you a swimmer? Make a splash for the 1in10 with endometriosis this May and swim over 9km or another suitable distance across 31 days.

Our recent diagnosis survey results show that it takes an average of over 9 years to get a diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK, and that’s far too long! With your help, we can continue to support those living with endometriosis and work to drive down diagnosis times so that everyone with endometriosis receives the care they need, when they need it.

How will you tackle Swim for Endo?

- 300 m per day

- 900 m every 3 days

- Up to 3km a week

- 9 swims of any distance

…get creative, the choice is yours!

This is a flexible challenge open to swimmers of varying abilities. You can adjust the challenge around the average diagnosis time to suit your needs, doing more or less to fit your body and schedule. Everyone’s journey is different, but we’re all in this together.
