The aim is for each team to swim as many lengths as possible in the 55 minutes available and because each
team member will have sought sponsors for the number of lengths the team (not the individual) completes,
we hope we will raise a useful sum for our chosen charities.
This is not a race and no team or individual is being asked to swim an unduly long distance. The event involves
each team swimming continuously for 55 minutes, one member only of the 6-person team being in the water at
a time. There are no hard and fast rules about how a team should organise itself - some may like to swim a
length in turn, others might want to split the time amongst them. All we ask is that inexperienced or out of
condition swimmers do not exceed their capacity
