Rotary Swimarathon Success Presentation Evening

To celebrate the success of their recent Swimarathon, Priory Rotary invited all the swimming teams and business sponsors to a presentation evening at North Wootton Village Hall on February 19th. Ken Banks, head of the Priory team who ran the event, thanked all the sponsors for their generous contributions, and all the swimmers and volunteers for their efforts on the day. In total, the events at the St James pool in Lynn and the Oasis pool in Hunstanton raised the fantastic sum of over £17,000, most of which is being distributed to the 18 charity teams who took part, with the remainder earmarked for other Rotary charities.

Special thanks went to our main sponsor, Adrian Flux insurance, who have covered the pool costs every year.

Medals were presented to all the children who took part, and to Chantelle Simpson of the Lavender Hill Mob Theatre Company who has not missed any of the previous Swimarathons since the first one in 2019. The QUH Rehab first team also received medals for the most lengths swum - 235 in 55 minutes.

Thanking everyone for attending, Mr Banks announced that next year’s event will be held on February 6th 2027, and hoped everyone will again support this annual Rotary charity event.
