  • Swimathon – 9th March 2024. Every year we take part in Retford Rotary Club‘s Annual Swimathon,  All attending members will swim for around 15 minutes, and can be sponsored per length or a fixed amount. The money raised will be split between Retford Lifesavers and a Rotary-nominated charity. Parents are welcome to turn up and swim too – the more the merrier!
