Make a splash

Taking to the water for a sponsored swim is an exciting personal challenge. It’s also a great way to raise money to help support The Christie.

If you’re not a strong swimmer but want to take on a swimming event, you’ll need time to train. Plan well for this and give yourself enough time to build your distance up. If you can swim regularly, aim to add a few lengths to your swim every week.

You can also take on a triathlon if you’re looking for a more active challenge. Run, cycle and swim to test your fitness.

Take a look at our swimming and triathlon events you can take part in to help fundraise for The Christie.

If you’re doing a swimming event for The Christie, let us know using our online form. We can send you a sponsorship pack and free Christie t-shirt, and also give you some handy fundraising advice.

Do you want to support The Christie this year? Take on The Christie Challenge and help us keep moving for people with cancer.
