🏊‍♀️ WELCOME TO THE NOTTINGHAM COMMUNITY SWIMATHON!

We’re delighted to launch the new Facebook home of the Nottingham Community Swimathon, a brilliant community fundraising event organised by Sherwood Sunrisers Rotary and the Rotary Club of Nottingham

📅 Saturday 20 March 2027

The idea is simple:

💙 Put together a team
🏊 Swim as many lengths as you can
💷 Get sponsored
🎉 Raise money for a cause that matters to YOU

And the best bit?

✅ It’s completely FREE to enter

✅ 70% of the sponsorship your team raises goes back to your chosen organisation or cause

✅ The remaining 30% supports Rotary’s costs and local and international charitable projects

We’d love to hear from schools, swimming clubs, Scout and Guide groups, sports teams, charities, community organisations, faith groups, workplaces, friendship groups, or simply a group of people who fancy doing something brilliant together.

We have space for 32 teams in 2027… and our mission is to fill every single one 🙌

Over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing everything you need to know about taking part, stories from previous Swimathons and plenty of reasons why your group should get involved

👉 Follow the page, share this post and tag someone who should enter a team!

Let’s get Nottingham swimming for its community 🏊‍♀️💙

East Midlands Club Champions Crowned at Club Relays

East Midlands clubs came together for a fantastic day of team racing at the Club Relays, with the 2026 East Midlands Club Championship titles decided across the Open, Female and Mixed categories. It was great to see everyone enjoying the racing, despite some typical British weather!

Off That Couch Masters produced the standout performance of the championships, completing the course in 2:59:10 to win the Open category and be crowned overall East Midlands Club Champions.

In the Open competition, TFN Toe Ticklers secured second place in 3:02:27, with Newark Ninjas taking third just 24 seconds behind in 3:02:51.

The Female title went to Type 2 Fun of Derby Tri Club, who finished in 3:45:24. Ladies That Louth of Louth Tri Club claimed second place in 3:53:25, while fellow Louth team Worth a Tri completed the podium with a time of 4:10:59.

There was particularly close racing in the Mixed category, where just 22 seconds separated the top two teams. Swimple Souls of Bingham Tri Club took the East Midlands title in 3:41:34, narrowly ahead of The Double Dates of Belper Tri Club in 3:41:56. Bingham Tri Club also claimed third place through Tired Team Copenhagen, who finished in 3:46:20.
