Make Waves for Saint Michael’s Hospice with Our Virtual Swim Challenge
Take the plunge in your own time and at your own pace with our flexible Virtual Swim Challenge – a powerful way to support Saint Michael’s Hospice while doing something great for your own wellbeing.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned swimmer, this challenge is open to everyone. Choose your distance – 5, 11 or 22 miles – and complete it in a way that suits you. Swim in a pool, open water, or any safe location, on your own or as part of a team. You can start whenever you’re ready, and go at a pace that works for you.
Every Stroke Makes a Difference
By taking part, you’ll be helping to provide vital end-of-life care, wellbeing services, and bereavement support to people across North Yorkshire and beyond. This is more than just a swim – it’s a chance to make a real impact in your community.
