Five Swimmers. One Solent. Countless Reasons.

We are five swimmers taking on the challenge of swimming the Solent on July 25th 2026, not just for the distance, but for the people and causes that matter most to us.

Together, we are raising money for four incredible charities and this swim is deeply personal for us all. Among our team are stories of courage, loss, and determination. Some of us swim in memory of loved ones taken too soon.

And for one very special team member, this year marks a milestone birthday, proving that age really is just a number. What better way to celebrate than by diving into one of the UK’s toughest open-water challenges surrounded by friends?

Thank you for supporting our swim and the charity close to our hearts to allow this swim to take place.

Meet the Swimmers:

Janice

Recently retired, determined, adventurous and making the most of every moment life has to offer. Janice is swimming in support of her father.

Simon

Re-Learning how to swim the front crawl in the sea is a lot harder than you might think. Enjoying the challenge and the reduction in the waist line !

Simon is swimming in memory of a close friend.

Phil

Happiest in the pool and walking, although the sea is a very different challenge and will take a lot of effort! Phil is swimming in support of his mum.

Kevin

Swimming the Solent for charity requires massive mental and physical stamina,I'm so pleased to have this opportunity to swim for charity.
