Rowan is 11 and this will be his third Swimathon. He wants to challenge himself so has stepped it up to 5km - a distance he’s never done before. 

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2022 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge. On 6-8 May, over 21,000 swimmers will be heading to over 300 pools across the UK to raise money for our two amazing charity partners.Together we can really make a difference.
