After talking to local organisations and youth groups, Wokingham Lions Club have decided to change the date of the inaugural Swimathon to Saturday 7th September 2024.
The original date of the 22nd June unfortunately clashed with several planned events already in potential teams’ calendars.
Lions Club member John Cleary told us: “Many groups and schools we spoke to were disappointed they couldn’t enter a team in the Swimathon, as it fell on the same date as previously arranged events. By changing the date, we hope more teams can take part. The booking site is open for the new date, and organisations, schools and charities can register their team now and set up a Just Giving page. For
details on how to register a team, go to the Wokingham Lions web site
wokinghamlions.org.uk
and click on forthcoming events.”
Teams have up to the 7th September to organise their team of up to eight swimmers of all abilities and get as many donations as they can. There is limited space for just 30 teams so register now to avoid disappointment.
