Story

I’m taking part in Make Waves for Marwell’s Penguins, a sponsored swim with World of Swimming and Marwell Wildlife, to help support the Humboldt penguins at Marwell Zoo.

My Goal:

I want to help Marwell Zoo and their penguins. Marwell Zoo takes part in important conservation and caring for animals. I am aiming to swim 400m. You can follow my progress at: www.curiouscatconservation.co.uk

More Information About Marwell's Penguins:

Humboldt penguins are incredible swimmers. In the wild, they swim against ocean currents, helping them stay strong, active and healthy.

At Marwell, the team are always looking for creative ways to enhance the lives of animals. After a successful trial last year, plans are underway to install a permanent flow cannon in the penguin pool. This will introduce a gentle current for the penguins to swim against - adding an extra development that encourages natural behaviours and activity.

By sponsoring my swim, you’ll be helping to support these ongoing enhancements and contribute to the continued wellbeing of these amazing animals. Thank you!
