SWIMMERS are limbering up for the world s largest annual swimming fundraiser. A beach group from Saltdean, Brighton, is urging people to join them by signing up for the Swimathon Festival 2021. The festival raises money for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie, which provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness. Former Team GB swimmer Mark Foster is supporting the event, which will take place between September 10 and 12. The event allows people to choose from different distances that they can swim, such as 400 metres up to a Triple 5km and a new 30.9km option. People can also join in with their own personal challenge at a time and location that suits them.
