On your marks.... Swimathon is back in 2017 for the 30th year! 

This is your lane. Your challenge. Your chance to make lives better by raising money for Marie Curie this year, helping people living with any terminal illness, and their families. 

As the world’s biggest fundraising swimming event, you can jump in the pool and make a difference at over 600 pools! Swimathon's 30th anniversary will include many celebrations online and around the pool on event weekend.

You can choose to take on 1.5k, 2,5k or 5k or, with our SimplySwim challenge, do your own distance in your own time. 

You could even form a relay team to tackle the 1.5k and 5k distances with your water-loving friends. Whatever you do, the money you raise will help people living with any terminal illness, and their families.
