Bantham Swoosh 2022
Campaign by Level Water (RCN 1151510)
The Swoosh is a world class 6km estuary swim down the River Avon in Devon. Among the things that make it special is the fact the estuary we swim in is both shallow and sandy bottomed so water is clear rather than muddy!

Story

This year we are back with our swim challenges working closely with the amazing charity Level Water! We will once again be taking part in the Bantham Swoosh on July 16th! This involves the 6km swim down the estuary finishing at Bantham Beach. In September, for the second time, we are also taking on the Dart 10k. This is considered the 'London Marathon' for swimmers and we are very much looking forward to once again taking on this challenge.

We are raising money for Level Water which is a charity that provides free swimming lessons on a one to one basis for children with disabilities. Level water provides lessons for children upto a point where they are capable and independent to join group swimming lessons and/or a local swimming club. Statistics show that currently only 1 in 8 disabled children are members of a sports club/team.

We both are very passionate about the power of sport and about the endless benefits it has, both physically and mentally. We would therefore like to help support Level Water with this cause and increase participation for children with disabilities. We are also very excited about doing this through a sport that we both love doing and hopefully enabling others to be able to take part and love it too.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank-you for your time to read our story, and we hope you will consider donating to this cause.

Big swimming thanks from Zoe & Neil :-)
