About RotarySwimarathon

The first Rotary Swimarathon took place in February 1990 with the aim of raising monies for local charities and deserving causes in and around Grantham. From that very first event to the present we have achieved our aims and the event goes from strength to strength every year.

In the 20year history we have raised £430,000 - last year 2009 we set all time records with 195 teams taking part and raising just over £36,000 which was distibuted to 50 different organisations to help celebrate our 20th Anniversary.

It is the biggest fund raising event in and around Grantham. It's reputation for being a professionally organised event is well known and the Rotary Club of Grantham has been successful in assisting other Clubs to start their very own Swimarathon - Bourne, Sleaford, Nottingham,Wolverhampton and Cheltenham to mention a few - and yes, even one in France!

For 2010 and due to high demand the event has been extended with the possibility of 232 teams taking part !
