We have had to move the original date of Sept as we have a Novice Gala on the 25th and it wouldn’t be fair to tire the children out. We are now aiming to swim the equivalent of Poole to Cherbourg (6,400 lengths) on Fri night, 1st Oct. The money raised will be split between the RNLI and the Julie Spendley Foundation. The swim is open to any parents / teachers that want to partake (no minimum number of lengths!) as well, so why not swim with your children!

There will be two options available to raise money: 1. pay £5 for each child swimming or 2) collect sponsorship money (form available here NOTE: When prompted, enter the username “ringwood”; the password is the same one you use to access the Members Only area). The choice is yours and hopefully this will make it easier for those that do not want to go around collecting money.
We are aiming to get as much publicity for the event as possible and I will keep you posted as to who may be attending from the local press.

Helpers Required: We will also require a number of helpers during the evening to count the lengths that are swum. If anyone is willing to help please add a comment to this post of come and see me on a Friday (1st session) or Sun morning.

Please keep an eye on the website for further instructions closer to the time.
