CHARITY EVENTS
Throughout the academic year LUSWP organises and participates in a number of events in aid of several different charities. This allows us to help worthy causes that are close to our hearts whilst physically challenging ourselves in the process. Many of these charity events come in the form of charity swimming galas and charity water polo tournaments and matches which not only allow us to support some amazing causes but it also gives many of our members a greater opportunity to compete outside of the main BUCS set up.

Our main charity event that is organised annually is the 15-Hour Charity Swim. The very first of this event was organised and run in February 2020. This year we well and truly beaten our target and smashed the 400km mark with a total of 402,775m!! This is the equivalent distance of Lancaster to Brighton!! We raised an amazing total of £1,700 for Mind UK. A great achievement, well done LUSWP!🌹 A huge thank you to Sport Lancaster for allowing us to run the event at our home pool, and huge thank you to all our supporters, lane counters, swimmers and donators!
