What is the Swimathon?

The Hamilton Rotary Swimathon is a fund-raising event whereby swimmers are encouraged to obtain sponsorship for each lap of the pool they swim. 

Why attend the Swimathon?

Swimming for charity. All schools, swimming clubs and charities who participate in the Swimathon will receive the sponsorship monies they raise, less $20 per swimmer which will be donated to the Rotary International programme for vaccinations to eradicate Polio in the World. Please read more information about "End Polio Now".

This is a unique opportunity to raise funds and do good in the world.

How to contribute to the Swimathon?

There are many ways to contribute: it’s not just about being an ironman or ironwoman.
You can swim as little as 50 metres, or for up to one hour!
You can sponsor someone else who might be swimming.
You can help organise the logistics of the day, or
You can sponsor Rotary’s work directly via a cash donation.
