Swim to Beat Macular Disease. We’ll send you a free charity t-shirt and support you every stroke of the way!

  • 2-mile registration Fee: £50 / Minimum sponsorship pledge: £350 - SOLD OUT

Please note: registration fees are non-refundable. There will be a requirement to reach at least 50% of the target approximately 1 month before the event.
