Swimmers getting set for pool record bid
SWIMMERS of all ages and abilities will be diving into the pool at Sleaford Leisure Centre this weekend for charity.
The leisure centre is hosting the annual Rotary Club of Sleaford Swimathon, which is taking place on Friday evening from 7pm to 10pm and on Saturday, from 8am to 6pm.
Around 50 teams, incorporating 200 swimmers, are expected to take part.
This year there is the added attraction of an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the highest number of swimmers swimming 100 metres non stop between the hours of 12noon and 1pm on Saturday in the ‘Rotary Global Swimathon’.
At Sleaford 75 swimmers will be taking part in the record attempt, joining 98 Rotary clubs around the world in 22 countries, involving an estimated 10,000 swimmers in all.
