The Swimarathon promises to be a tremendous day. It’s not everyday that members of our local community have the opportunity to be part of an attempt to break a world record, so we really hope people come along and raise lots of money for a great cause. Both the South Holland Rotary Club and the South Lincolnshire Competitive Swimming Club have worked really hard to get our community involved and we are proud to be able to provide the facilities to host such an exiting event.
