Clifton Rotary Club Annual Swimarathon

Sunday 9th March 2025

 

 

 

 

The Rotary Club of Clifton (Bristol) hosts a Charity Swimarathon each year and the 2025 event is on 9th March at the Clifton High School Swimming Pool, BS8 3HL. You are warmly invited to come along and swim at a leisurely pace to raise funds for your chosen charity/school project or for Rotary charities.

The Rotary Club provides the swimming pool and qualified lifeguards. There are no costs to you so all funds raised go directly to your chosen charity/ project (some teams kindly donate a small percentage of funds raised to Rotary charities and this is always gratefully received.)

Teams of swimmers (number up to you but usually between two and eight) swim for an hour and team members encourage people to sponsor the team per length or for some total amount. A variety of teams take part annually, including schools (pupil, staff and parent teams), clubs, charities, work colleagues, families, groups of friends and individual swimmers.

This is a wonderful opportunity to raise funds and have fun.

Wednesday 26th March 2025

Marcus Wells, a Bristol baker, started taking relief supplies to Ukraine in 2022 with a view to returning to the UK with refugees from that war torn country. Since then he and a handful of volunteers have made made many trips including returning via Poland and Denmark where they transported more than 700 Ukranian families to sympathetic people who have provided them with homes until it is safe for them to return to their country.

This is bound to be a heartfelt presentation which you are strongly recommended to attend.
