We would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our amazing swimmers who took part in our annual Sponsored Swim! Together, our amazing swimmers swam 126 miles over 7 days and raised an incredible £2851 for the swimming pool.
​
All the funds raised from our Sponsored Swim will be going straight back into the LVSP Energy Fund. This will help us create a more energy efficient environment to ensure that we are able to offer swimming opportunities to future generations.
​
It was truly amazing to see how dedicated and enthusiatic all of the children were in taking part in this great challenge! All of the teaching team at LVSP are so proud of what each child achieved as individuals and together as a team!
​
Thank you to everyone that took part in our Sponsored Swim and to those who showed their support! It is truly appreciated!
We are pleased to announce that our annual Sponsored Swim is making a return from the 17th - 23rd of March 2025.
​
Our annual Sponsored Swim is a part of our continued effort to raise crucial funds for Lune Valley Swimming Pool. As a local community swimming pool and a not-for-profit charity, it is important for us to continuously fundraise throughout the year in order for us to provide a service for on average 625 swimmers on a weekly basis. This includes swimming lessons for young people, clubs and classes for all ages as well as a wide variety of public and family sessions.
​
Last year, our amazing swimmers managed to swim an incredible 132 miles and raise an amazing £2050.70, which went towards making our pool more sustainable. This year, we are aiming to swim as many miles as possible and see if we can smash our previous goal!
​
If your child swims with us in any of our swimming lessons, including our Hornby Hammerheads and Rookie Lifeguard sessions, or in our school swimming sessions, your child will be taking part in our sponsored swim during the week of the 17th of March 2025. Our swimming teachers will be making sure to adapt the session time to suit the ability and needs of the children to ensure that they are able to swim comfortably and still have fun.
