Whether you’re a regular in the pool or just beginning your swimming journey, the Swimathon is a fantastic opportunity to set yourself a personal challenge, get active and be part of something bigger. You can take on the challenge individually or as part of a team, making it a great experience whether you’re looking to beat a personal best or simply have fun with friends and colleagues.

The UCL Charity Swimathon is all about bringing the UCL community together in a positive, welcoming and inclusive environment. All abilities and levels of swimming experience are encouraged to take part, no matter how far or how fast you swim.

Even better, 20% of every ticket sale will be donated to Movember, supporting its work to tackle some of the biggest health issues facing men. You can also make an even greater impact by joining our team and raising additional funds through the Movember Fundraising page.
