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.
