BSSC Charity Aquathon

Join fellow BSSC members for an afternoon of fun and fundraising on Sunday 15 November 2026, from 1pm–4pm, at Grange Paddocks pool and sports pitches.

Our Charity Aquathon is open to BSSC members across all squads and ages, including our Masters. Everyone runs first, then swims—and it’s all just for fun!

Bring your funkiest swim hats and most flamboyant fancy dress—there will be prizes!

Two causes, one club effort

Entry is free. We ask every participant to get sponsored or give a small donation to help us reach our £4,000 target.

Funds raised will be split equally between our not-for-profit club, Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club, and Level Water, which provides swimming lessons for children with disabilities across the UK.

Family and friends can support our participants by donating and sharing the fundraising page.

Sign up or support

Sign up for the Aquathon — please complete a separate form for each participant, including children from the same family. Further details, including what to bring, will be emailed to everyone who signs up.

Donate and follow our fundraising progress — every donation is appreciated!
