What do I have to do? Simply visit your local swimming pool, on your own, with a friend, or in a group and measure the number of metres or lengths you swim.

When do I have to do it? Whenever you wish over the next 6 months starting from Saturday 1st May to Saturday 30th October 2010. You can swim at your own pace, in your own time as often as you wish and simply keep a record of your distance

Where do I do it? Wherever suits you best, your swimming baths, the gym possibly. Perhaps if you wish we can organise a swim day in various local baths and if you are able to, just turn up and join in with others who will be taking part.

How do I get involved? Just call us on 0191 3892222 or email to register your name and contact details and get your cozzy out! We will send you a form giving details of how to join us. We will also supply you with sponsor forms to get your family and friends to pledge a small amount for the distance you wish to achieve. You set the amount you feel people will pay (every penny counts!).
