Swimathon 2016 - my 23rd consecutive Swimathon

In March next year I will be taking part in Swimathon 2016 to raise money for good causes, and aiming to swim 5,000 metres for the 23rd consecutive year.

This post is an early warning and there will be some more information about the event and attempts to raise sponsorships nearer the time.

Swimathon is now part of Sport Relief, which supports the same good causes as Comic Relief in Britain and around the world. 50% of the money raised is used to support community projects and good causes in Britain, including a range of causes in Cumbria

Community projects and good causes supported in Cumbria over the past couple of years have included:

1) Cumbria Gateway
2) North Copeland Youth partnership
3) Copeland occupational and social centre
4) Pride in North Cumbria
5) Sustainable Carlisle Ltd
