What happens once I have registered?
Once we have your registration form or online registration we will send you out a fundraising pack and your Swim22 swimming cap (if you have requested one). It's then time to get fundraising before you start your epic challenge on 22 August. We are here to help you through your whole journey so please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Is it possible to swim for free?
Unfortunately we cannot offer free swimming sessions your local swimming pools. But why not speak to you pool and let them now what you are doin. You never know, they may be able to support you in some way.
I am pregnant, can i still take part?
Swimming is fantastic for expectant mothers. The water supports the body and removes the load bearing element common in other forms of exercies. The benefits of exercise during pregnancy include a reduction in gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and varicose veins. Women who exercise during pregnancy have higher energy levels and happier pregnancies.

How many lengths do I need to swim?
This depends on the length of your pool. Have a look at our swim distance chart on the Swim Tracker page to work it out.
