Over the last 8 years the Swimarathon has raised more than £56,000
for many deserving causes in the Horsham area.

The 2020 Swimarathon will support Horsham Matters, an important charity making a big impact in the Horsham community.

Horsham Matters currently provides emergency food for individuals and families through the Horsham District Foodbank, in addition to running the Horsham Night Shelter which provides homeless people with a bed and food in the winter months.

Horsham Matters are developing a Community Hub to work with other organisations and partner agencies to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for vulnerable residents. A key part of this vision includes The Hub Café, where those who can afford to pay, do and those facing financial difficulties are subsidised or eat free. Funds raised at Swimarathon 2020 will be used for setting up The Hub Café which will contribute to creating a strong, safe and healthy community in Horsham.

#GetInvolved

Our 2019 Swimarathon was oversubscribed, so if it is your intention to take part you will need to return your entry form to us as soon as possible.

We are limited to 40 teams and places will be allocated on a first come basis.

How Does It Work?

 

Taking Part


The Swimarathon is run on a 50/50 basis. Half the money you raise by sponsorship will benefit a good cause of your choice, this can be your favourite charity, your club or maybe your school. The majority of the other half will benefit Horsham Matters with a smaller percentage being reserved for other good causes in the Horsham area which are regularly supported by Horsham Lions Club.

You can of course join with us in supporting Horsham Matters. The decision is yours; all we ask is that you help us raise as much money as possible.

 


Taking part is very easy; there is no entry fee. You will need a team of up to 6 swimmers plus an adult non-swimming team captain. All ages can take part, from 8 to 70 upwards. The first member of a team swims one length of the pool and then relaxes while the other members of the team each swim a length of 25 metres in turn. The first swimmer then swims again and so on for 55 minutes. There could be up to eight teams swimming each hour. The first teams start swimming at 12 noon, with other teams starting on the hour until 4pm when the last teams will start their swim. Why not ask your friends and colleagues to have a go? It's great fun and good healthy exercise!
