The Rotary Club Of South Woodham Ferrers Swimarathon


Get out your water wings and take the plunge in the Swimarathon being staged by the Rotary Club of South Woodham Ferrers. It commences Friday 19th March and runs until afternoon of Sunday 21st March at the South Woodham Ferrers Leisure Centre, Trinity Square.

All the cash raised will benefit Essex Air Ambulance, local charities, and other charities named by the competitors.

Teams of six will be collecting sponsorship and will be in the swim throughout the weekend in an effort to swim constantly for 55 minutes.

Tony Graham, one of the organisers, says there are still places left if anyone else wants to join: “The most important thing is that it is fun. It could be family event or young people can get together and work together, it could be a team from your work or your club, or even renew your interest in swimming for fitness.

There are trophies for, Schools with most teams entered, teams with highest sponsorship, Commercial companies with most teams entered as well as medals for swimmers who “catch our eye”.

“At the end of the day a lot of people get satisfaction actually raising money for special events.”
