At the end of March this year we were inspired by the Swimathon that took place in the UK. Over 42 million metres were swam as so many people got involved in various swimming challenges to raise money for their charities. Over £2.1 million has been raised in 2019 already. This year they introduced a new swimming challenge - the triple 5K - which involves swimming a total of 15,000m over three separate swims in a weekend (200 lengths of a 25m pool three times). Elliot is going to give this a go at the end of November after of the 100km walk that we completed in September and raised £1,200 for Mind - the mental health charity!

UPDATE (19/11/19): Elliot completed the swim with time to spare! This event helped us to raise an additional £300 for the charity Surfers Against Sewage!
