Bluecoats invite you to join them in the 2012 Swimathon to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Each year hundreds of swimming pools host the Swimathon; aiming to raise money in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. This year, the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief is teaming up with the Swimathon weekend starting on the 27th April 2012. This is a fantastic year and opportunity to dive in and get involved, to make some money for charity.

Bluecoats warmly welcome swimmers of all ages, and levels to participate in this years Swimathon.Deciding to swim is a great chance for you to set new personal challenges for 2012 and in doing so you will feel a massive sense of achievement whilst getting fit in the process.

So set yourself a personal challenge of completing the ultimate; 5km (200 lengths), 2.5km (100 lengths or 1.5km (60 lengths).

Alternatively, join up with family, friends and colleagues for the Team 5km where you can swim in a team consisting of 2-5 people covering 5km. If you prefer to do it at your own pace, join the SimplySwim challenge, which allows you to cover any distance at any pool, any time.

If your more suited to spectating you can still do your bit by sponsoring our swimmers, or volunteering to lap count at Bluecoats.

We have space for 36 swimmers per session and will be holding these Swimathon sessions on;

• Saturday 28th April - 14.00-16.30
• Saturday 28th April - 16.30- 19.00
