People
from across the UK are being encouraged to dig out their outdoor
swimming gear and take
part in a new outdoor swimming event.
The first ever Epilepsy Action Rutland Water Swim has been launched.
It will be the first time that people have had the chance to take part in a sponsored swim in the
UK’s largest reservoir.
Swimmers
will be able to choose a distance that suits their level of experience
and stamina,
with options to swim 500m, 1,000m or 1,500m.
It costs £36 to register for the event and Epilepsy Action is encouraging all swimmers to raise
at least £100 in sponsorship.
The event is ideal for people who enjoy open water swimming or those who are looking to try
something new.
