Box End Park 24hr Team Swim

Sat 22nd June 2024 - Sun 23rd June 2024

A group of people poses in front of large, colorful numbers "24" and two yellow triangular structures displaying "LEVEL WATER." They appear to be at an outdoor event near a body of water, with trees and inflatables in the background. Three smiling individuals in colorful swimwear and pink swim caps, standing at the edge of a lake. The person on the left in a black shirt has tattoos. The person in the middle is holding the person on the right, who is in a floral swimsuit. Swimmers and buoys are visible in the water. A group of swimmers in wetsuits and pink swim caps enter a lake for a race. Several swimmers are already in the water, heading towards brightly colored buoys. The lake is surrounded by trees, and the sky is partly cloudy with ample sunshine. Five men pose in front of a body of water. Four of them stand while one man, wearing a yellow swim cap and black swimming briefs, is being held horizontally by the others. They are all smiling and appear to be enjoying the moment. A swimmer wearing a yellow swim cap with a sun design, blue goggles, and a black wetsuit swims in open water. Their left arm is outstretched, splashing water droplets, with a blurred background of spectators and colorful buoys. A person swims in the ocean at sunset, with one arm raised out of the water. A red float or buoy is visible next to them. The sky is bathed in warm orange and yellow hues as the sun sets on the horizon. Nearby water ripples with gentle waves. A person in a wetsuit and pink swim cap stands ankle-deep in a lake, raising both arms in victory. The individual wears swimming goggles and is smiling. There are colorful buoys and other swimmers in the background under overcast skies. A group of four swimmers wearing colorful swimsuits, swimming caps, and goggles pose for a photo in front of a yellow tent with a large decorated "2" sign at the Lakeside. Other people are visible in the background, including volunteers in high-visibility vests. A person wearing a black wetsuit, pink swim cap, and goggles is smiling while standing in water at night. Light trails surround them, adding a dynamic effect to the scene.

Organiser's Description

Gather a team of between 1 to 8 swimmers and swim for an hour each, for 24 hours!

This event is unique in being a personal/team endurance swimming challenge rather than about speed or distance. It’s also for everyone over the age of 14, regardless of your ability. It’s not a race, no one is being timed or tracked. You swim as much as you want, as fast as you want.

The challenge is in the endurance, the team work and camaraderie to support each other for the duration. It’s the 2am cold swims when you just want to sleep. It’s the hugs of relief at the end of each hour knowing you’ve just ticked another hour off. It’s being huddled around the fire pit with a hot chocolate and dancing to keep warm. It’s cheering the sunrise.

It’s knowing that you’re doing it to raise money for Level Water who provide 1-to-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities. It’s knowing that, one day, they might be able to take part in this challenge with their friends or family because of the efforts you are putting in to fundraise.

It’s knowing your are using the power of your swimming to change lives. And that’s all pretty wonderful.
