The Sweethope Splashers are completing our first open water swimming challenge as part of swimathon. As a team we hope to swim 5km that's equivalent to 200 lengths in a swimming pool. We will be completing this challenge in September up at Sweethope Loughs beautiful lake.

Marie Curie and Cancer Research are both well deserving charities so please show your support by donating to our team fundraiser.

Our team consists of Angela Beaumont, Linda Finn, Helen Ford and Tanya Baker. We are all fairly new to open water swimming and are excited to try and complete this challenge.
