Swimathon is a national event with up to 20,000 swimmers participating at 500 swimming pools across the UK.

The leisure centre swimming pools in Huntingdon, Ramsey and Sawtry are all joining in with event and their dedicated and enthusiastic swimmers will be part of raising £1.8 million for Marie Curie Cancer Care and The Swimathon Foundation.  In the past 21 years almost half a million swimmers have helped raise over £30 million for charities.

Duncan Goodhew, Olympic Gold medallist and president of The Swimathon Foundation said "Swimming is a great overall workout. It uses every muscle group in the body whilst burning more calories than other activities, such as running, and is one of the government’s targeted sports to reduce obesity.  Swimathon is not only a great form of exercise for all, but a great team activity for friends, families and colleagues."

The leisure centres have a wide range of sessions suitable for all ages and abilities.  For more information and timetables please visit leisure centres web pages by using the link on the right or contact your local centre.
