About the event

  • It’s an annual fun day that’s raised over half a million pounds for local charities since 1994.
  • Each year, between 7 and 9 local charities are identified to benefit from the Swimathon.
  • 24 February 2024 will be Rotary MK’s 30th Swimathon.
  • It’s free to enter and held at Wolverton Pool.
  • 50+ teams of six swim on a relay basis for 55 minutes in a 25-metre pool.
  • No special swimming ability is needed.
  • Children of any age are welcome but must have parental permission.
  • A smaller event for swimmers needing assistance is organised by the Newport Pagnell Assisted Swim Club, which will be held at Middleton Pool on 9 March 2023. This also raises money for the chosen charities.
