Casino Royale Project LEAP Fundraising Ball
To tie in with the Rio Olympics, we set a challenge for our swimmers to log their lengths with a member of the Lido staff as they left the pool.
As a community, the aim was to swim the 5,714 miles from Arundel to Rio.
9,195,792 metres = 367,831 lengths of the 25 metre pool… An average of 2,896 lengths per day!
And the great news is – they smashed it!
Not only did they complete the challenge to swim from Arundel Lido to the Olympic Stadium in Rio, they overran it by more than 7,000 lengths!
We’d like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to the Swan Hotel for supporting this community challenge and a huge congratulations to all of our swimmers. Did you enjoy it? Ideas for next season..?
‘Swim to Rio’ was kindly sponsored by The Swan Hotel Arundel
