🏊‍♀️ Victorian Pool Crawl 2026 – Supporting Active Communities 🏊‍♀️

The Victorian Pool Crawl is back! We’re a team of 10 committed swimmers from Leith Victoria, taking on an ambitious one-day challenge to support a brilliant cause.

Our mission? To visit all five Victorian pools in a single day, swimming 1km in each one – and walking an impressive 16km between pools. We love swimming, but combining it with that distance on foot will definitely test us, so your support really matters!

The Victorian Pool Crawl 2026 takes place on 6 April 2025, and every pound raised will go directly towards Edinburgh Leisure’s Active Communities programme.

Edinburgh Leisure is dedicated to helping people live more active, healthier lives. With 53 sport, leisure and school venues across the city, they work to ensure everyone has the opportunity to get active and stay active. The Active Communities programme uses the power of physical activity and sport to tackle inequality and reduce the impact of inactivity. Each year, around 12,500 people facing the greatest barriers to being active are supported – including those living with health conditions, disabilities, social inequalities and poverty.

By supporting the Leith Victorians you’re helping Edinburgh Leisure make physical activity more inclusive and accessible, and supporting health and wellbeing across our communities.

Thank you for helping us make a difference 💙
