Wednesday 16 July 2025: Swimathon
The Wokingham Lions Swimathon returns this summer offering a great low-cost fundraising opportunity for charities, schools and community groups.
The date has been set for Wednesday 16th July 2025 starting at 10am and finishing at 3pm. The new daytime slot is designed so that schools as well as charities can get involved.
A Lions Club spokesman said, “Whilst the pilot event last year was very successful, with total funds raised exceeding £12,500, we thought having it on a Saturday Night made it inaccessible for some groups to take part. By having it close to the end of the summer term, many schools could find this a great opportunity to fundraise. Pupils of any age can enter, provided they are aged 8 or over on 16th July 2025. However, our thoughts are aimed at pupils in year 6, who will be moving onto their Secondary School in September, and those in years 11 and 13 who are finishing stages of their education. Taking part in the Swimathon with their fellow pupils, would be a wonderful way to support their school and mark the end of their Primary or Secondary education.”
Charities and community groups are also more than welcome.
