To mark National Swim Week, John Lyon is running Swimathon events across the whole school and we’d love OLs involved! Dust off your goggles to help us raise awareness and money for Brain Tumour Research, in memory of Joshua Beresford Smart (OL 2020).

Entry is £10, including the Swimathon + Raft Race + Social.

Swimathon - Take on a 30-minute swim and clock up as many lengths as you can. You’ll be teaming up (and competing) with current pupils, from Reception all the way to Sixth Form.

The Raft Race (with a twist) - Race across the pool, retrieve the mystery object, and get back fastest to claim the title of John Lyon Raft Race Champion. Optional “performance upgrades” like sea scooters and kayak paddles will be available for a small donation. (OLs can opt out of the raft race, if you prefer just the swim).

Post-race Social - Stay on for food, drinks, prizes and a proper catch-up in our Sixth Form cafe.

Schedule:
2:00 - Arrive & change
2:15 - Warm-up
