Sign Up For The Lincoln Swimarathon Today!
Calling all swimmers!!! Can you organise a team of up to 6 swimmers to take part in the popular Lincoln Swimarathon and raise money for a local charity?
This year the Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia is raising cash for the Lincoln Guide Dogs For The Blind. Each team will swim for 55 minutes in relay at Yarborough Leisure Centre on March 16, with officials recording the number of lengths swam. The entry fee is £10 per team (not per swimmer) and then each individual swimmer gets sponsorship from family and friends for this worthy local cause.
All swimmers will receive a certificate and a medal for taking part. Space is limited to 60 teams which are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so enter now to guarantee your team a place!
The first swimmers will start at 8.30am and every hour thereafter until 5.30pm. There will be prizes for the team and swimmer who complete the most lengths, for the team and swimmer who raise the largest amount of sponsorship, for the youngest and oldest swimmers.
So get together with friends from your school, club, work or even the pub and send for an entry form.
Active Nation’s Jo Worsdall took part in last year’s event. She said: “This really is a great and fun way to raise funds for a wonderful local charity by being active. There is a great atmosphere in the pool and everyone has a great time. I would urge as many teams as possible to sign up and take the plunge.”
Last year 6,145 lengths were swum in total and the team completing the most lengths was UL Manatees who achieved 250 lengths which is roughly one every 14 seconds. Every team completed over 100 lengths with no less than 7 teams swimming over 200 lengths.
