Since its inception, the Rotary Woking Swimathon has captured the hearts and minds of locals from across the region eager to play their part for charity. Typically we have over 300 swimmers entering, collectively covering a staggering distance equivalent to crossing the English Channel multiple times over. The result? An average of over £10,000 each year raised for a variety of charitable causes, from supporting vulnerable communities to funding vital medical research.

Once again we’re looking for a total of 60 teams to swim for 55 mins. Each team can have up to six team members.

We aim to have six teams per hour swimming between 9am and 6pm.

Each team is allocated a lane; however, only one team member swims at a time.

On average this means that each member swims between 10 and 20 lengths during the 55 minutes. There is, however, no need for each team member to swim the same number of lengths.

Every team member invites sponsorship for their team.
