Take the plunge at the Ellenor Hospice at Home Swimathon and have an absolutely splashing time.

We would like to invite you to take part in the Ellenor Swimathon on September 16 at the Next Generation Club, Dartford.

Held during children's hospice week, the event will raise vital funds for the children we care for. Swimathons are being held all over the country with support from celebrities including Olympic swimmer Steve Parry.

Individuals and teams, serious swimmers and beginners, are all invited to swim.

The pool will have lanes set for swimmers of different ability so there is no need to worry if you are a beginner. All we ask is that you swim as far as you can in 30 minutes.

For your peace of mind and safety, trained lifeguards will be in attendance.

If you would like to participate in the Swimathon then we would love to hear from you. Phone the fundraising department on 01322 221315 and we will send a swimming pack with sponsor forms, fundraising ideas, joining instructions, directions etc.

The Ellenor provides specialist hospice care for children and adults living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses throughout north west Kent and Bexley.
