WELCOME TO THE SWIMATHON 2004 WEBSITE

For the last ten years the Rotary Club of Minehead has organised a Swimathon competition which involves teams of six swimming two lengths of a 25 metre pool in turn for a duration of 55 minutes. The event takes place at Aquasplash in Minehead (click here to visit the Aquasplash web site)

These events have been very successful and apart from being most enjoyable for those taking part have raised over £44,000 for a variety of International, national and many local charities and schools. This year we should see our cumulative total break the £50,000 barrier!

If you would like to enter a team, whether it be school, work, sporting club, social or family, please refer to the pages for dates and times, and then fill in our entry form.
