All set to smash the world record and make £1000s for End Polio Now!

24 days to go. First of all a huge thanks to all those of you who are already actively using our new Rotary Global Swimarathon Support Forum on Facebook. We'll be looking to hold regular live chat sessions on there at different times of the day over the next few weeks to help bring everyone together at the same time and to give us chance to share our progress and help each other - look out for announcements to come.

Thanks very much to everyone who's responded so far on our request for details of your local events. I'd like to share with you a few of the details which will hopefully give you a sense of just how big this event really is going to be....

Just going to list out 5 clubs as an example - remember there are 76 registered worldwide now :)

Club Name	Location	Swimmers for WR attempt	Fundraising target (£)
Rotary Club of Grantham, UK	Grantham Meres Leisure Centre	500	3000
Rotary Club of Townsville Daybreak, Australia	Long Tan Swimming Pool	1000	2500
Rotary Club of Zamboanga City Phillipines	Joaquim F Enriquez Sports Stadium Pool	960	1500
Rotary Club of Knaresborough	Knaresborough Swimming Pool	200	1500
Rotary Club of Mareeba	Mareeba Swimming Pool	400	3500
Total		3060	12000

So in just 5 events - we can exceed the 2533 swimmer target and raise over £12,000  ($20,000 US) in the process.

This is going to be one very special day......
