Saturday 24 October 2009 at Bedford School swimming pool teams of relay swimmers will attempt to swim more than 50 miles in a day, to raise money for charity as they do so. Anyone who can swim 25 m - young or not so young - is welcome to join in.

 

  • Rotary Swimathon 2009 is organised by The Rotary Club of Bedford

 

  • Teams of up to 6 swim in relay for 50 minutes

 

  • Every swimmer will receive a commemorative T-shirt

 

  • Prizes for the most money raised and for the most original team name

 

 

The teams will be asked to seek sponsors and all the money raised will be divided between The Bedford Hospitals Charity Duckling Appeal, (which aims to raise £200,000 to upgrade parts of the Maternity Department and create a new Midwifery-led Unit within the Cygnet Wing of Bedford Hospital), and the team's own chosen charity.

 

 

 

Rotary Club of Bedford?????

 

Some people think ROTARY is merely a club whose members meet for lunch. NOT SO!

 

14 year old Steven, doesn't think so!  He suffers from autism - his state-of-the-art wheelchair was provided for him by the Rotary Club of Bedford.

 

21 year old Ruth, doesn't think so!  She reckons that Rotary's demanding action-style Youth Leadership Training was a life-enriching experience.

 

St John's Hospice Fundraiser, Paula, doesn’t think so!  The £23,000 cheque, raised by the Rotary organised 2006 Barford Bypass Run, helped her keep the Moggerhanger Hospice's vital services going that year.
