C'MON

dive straight in to the 50th Anniversary Swimarathon!

The 2026 Skipton Swimarathon will take place between Wednesday 7 October and Sunday 11 October.

The main beneficiary for this year's event is Les Bourgs Hospice, with other amounts going to both organising clubs for other local charitable causes.

This much-loved Guernsey tradition is organised jointly by the Lions Club of Guernsey and the Guernsey Round Table, with support from sponsor, Skipton International.

Last year over £67,000 was raised.
